Cyberpunk: Edgerunnersis a perfect series. Being a perfect blend of a human story in a time when the world could not be further from humanity, the series ended up touching audiences in ways that little shows have managed to do. While the game is iconic in its own right, this ten-episode series ended up leaving audiences broken in more ways than one.
While some might assume that the series would get hate for the emotional impact it had on its audiences, the reality could not be further from it. The 2022 series has found a special place in the hearts of the fans, and they have become quite protective of it.
With this in mind, one can imagine what will happen if the perfection of this single-season story is disturbed.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunnersin Danger?
The ending ofCyberpunk: Edgerunnersis heartbreakingly magnificent. David loses his life to Adam Smasher but dies knowing that Lucy is safe. What makes the tale all the more tragic is the fact that only Lucy and Flaco survive by the end of it, breaking fans in the worst ways possible.
Although the ending was painful, it certainly helped in the project getting a 100% rating onRotten Tomatoes. It tied up all loose ends and delivered a cohesive story that did not leave the audience wanting more.

The game developers ofCyberpunk 2077,CD Projekt Red, and Netflix recently made an announcement for their fans that has audiences quite concerned. It was announced on the streaming giant’sofficial X accountthat they are developing another series from the depths of Night City.
Netflix Does Not Have A Good History With Perfection
In its announcement, it was not specified if the show was going to be a continuation of the story ofCyberpunk: Edgerunnersin the form of another season or something entirely new. This ambiguity has had many fans concerned about the direction that Netflix is going to take with their beloved masterpiece.
There is a small Easter egg inCyberpunk 2077that alludes to the fact that Lucy set up a memorial for all of the fallen members of the 2022 series. While this could hint at the fact that Netflix will leave this continuity untouched, its past patterns still have audiences concerned about what it is going to do with the new show.

Netflix has gained quite a reputation for caring more about profits than storytelling and the integrity of projects. Shows that are too good are canceled too soon and shows that should have ended years ago run on until they are ruined and unrecognizable. With this pattern in mind, it is not surprising that fans are worried aboutEdgerunners.
Under the announcement, many fans mentioned that they wanted the story ofEdgerunnersto remain untouched. Although there are theories that David made it out alive, it is safe to say that fans are not paying much heed to them. Fans mentioned that they would love to witness a new story that deals with new characters from Night City, with some cameos here and there.
I really hope its a new story and not a sequel
They all died. Leave it at that
I think edgerunners was the best. Think they can top it?
Edge runners was a masterpiece and I’d give it an 11/10 if I can, put me in literal depression, I don’t need a sequel to something perfect if it’s gonna ruin that.
They’re not bringing back David’s gang, if they do it’d be a waste if potential. Edgerunners would work best as an anthology.
However, they do not want the streaming giant to ruin the perfect ending of their beloved show.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunnersis available for streaming on Netflix.
