Weeks after Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 hit Netflix, the anime has released a brand new music video featuring new scenes focusing on King and Avida's rather emotional backstory.
The music video, which you can watch below, was posted by Cyberpunk on YouTube and features the song ‘Watson’ by Petite Meller (ft. Oslo Green), which viewers will recognise as the end-credits theme for the anime series' second season. However, rather than splicing scenes from the show, which many music videos taken from movies and shows tend to do, Watson's video includes never-before-seen footage made especially for the tune.
The video, which credits 'story and creative direction' to Edgerunners creator Bartosz Sztybor, focuses on Weak Kingsley and Avida Yang, giving us an insight into the two meeting prior to the events of the season. The footage teases their relationship before their eventual breakup, which provides some much-needed context on why the two behave the way they do towards one another in the new anime.
While Sztybor worked on the music video, Edgerunners animation house Studio Trigger did not. Instead, the animation was provided by WIZZ Studio, which has created a number of animated shorts for music videos in the past, including the recent League of Legends Worlds 2026 Anthem.
Set in Night City, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is set in the same universe as the popular Cyberpunk video game franchise, and takes place one year after video game Cyberpunk 2077 and two years after the anime's first season. But the new 10-episode season is a standalone story, following washed-up cyberpunk legend Weak Kingsley as he searches for a sense of purpose in a world that’s passed him by.
However, the new video may be the last that fans see of the anime for a while, as Netflix has yet to renew the show for a third season. Speaking to ComicBook, the show's creator Bartosz Sztyboron shared hopes for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season 3, adding, "There’s a lot of stories to tell in Night City and beyond." But suggested that Cyberpunk studio CD Projekt Red's quest for perfection could hinder progress. "I think the whole studio’s approach is that there always needs to be a perfect story and a perfect director, artist, or a studio that will be able to pull off this story," said Sztybor.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season 2 is out on Netflix now. For more, check out our Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season 2 review, and keep up with new anime on the way.
