About the series
The second installment is produced by Studio Trigger, with Kai Ikarashi directing alongside co-writer Masahiko Otsuka and lead character designer Ichigo Kanno. Showrunner and writer Bartosz Sztybor explained that the story maintains noir consequences rather than bringing back previous lead David Martinez. The production includes music by composer Tsuneo Imahori alongside contemporary alternative acts. Viewers will have access to original Japanese audio as well as an English dub starring Clancy Brown as Kingsley, alongside Valeria Rodriguez and Nazeeh Tarsha.
What to expect
The plot centers around four primary figures navigating the urban underworld:
- Weak Kingsley ("King"), an unenhanced former cyberpunk icon facing past trauma.
- D, a nomad netrunner seeking revenge while uncovering forbidden corporate secrets.
- Talia Yang, a chrome-obsessed mercenary connected to the Maelstrom gang.
- Roman Carax, a youth capturing the city's reality with a 35mm analog camera.
Stylistically, the production team plans to shift the visual approach by staging hyperviolent action during broad daylight rather than keeping it in nighttime alleyways.
