Good News About The ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners' Season 2 Release Date
CDPR has just announced that Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will return with season 2. This was more or less confirmed before this, but now actual promotion is rolling out for the show, with descriptions, posters and by the time you read this, probably a trailer.
If you're thinking you're going to need to wait an extremely long time for this second season, the release date may be a lot closer than you think. CDPR has not given a date, nor a window. However, given the saga that was the release of season 1, we can dig into this. And from what I can tell, it's mostly good news. Here's the timeline:
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was announced on June 25, 2020 during a livestream. It was largely forgotten about until closer to release (December 2020 was launch, and its disastrous release was all anyone could talk about).
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners premiered on Netflix on September 13, 2022, about two and a quarter years later.
So, are we destined for a fall 2027 launch? Not necessarily.
If it's true that Edgerunners season 2 is actually getting a trailer today (it already has promotional art), then we may be much closer to launch than envisioned. The first Edgerunners season 1 trailer wasn't released until June 8, 2022 at a Netflix 'Geeked Week' showcase. That was just four months until launch.

Almost immediately, Edgerunners was a huge hit. It remains one of the best-scoring shows in Netflix history with a 100% critic score and a 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Riot's Arcane used to be up there as well, but season 3 dropped its audience score to an 87%, so Edgerunners practically stands alone on the service. And so, what was once going to be a one-off led to more content. In September 2024, Netflix teased a new Cyberpunk animation project. Now, we know that's Edgerunners season 2.
One concern was that animation studio TRIGGER was so busy they wouldn't be available for a while, but it seems they have made time, given that this was an obvious priority. Given all this information I do not believe at all we are in for another 2+ year wait for Edgerunners season 2. If we really do get a trailer, I would guess that maybe this isn't four months away like we saw with season 1, but under a year? I believe it.
This is a new group, new story. It's been confirmed the star of season 1, David, is really dead. An open question is whether this will start teasing the events of Cyberpunk 2077's sequel, currently in the works at CDPR. We might know sooner than we think.

Fans Grossed Out By Tennis Star Iga Swiatek's Favorite Meal
Fans Grossed Out By Tennis Star Iga Swiatek's Favorite Meal originally appeared on The Spun. Iga Swiatek may have revealed her secret to being one of the best tennis players in the world. On Saturday night, Swiatek defeated Danielle Collins to punch her ticket to the fourth round at Wimbledon. Although grass is considered her worst surface, she has looked really sharp over the past three matches. Her outlook for the rest of the tournament is really positive considering she's the only major champion left in her half of the draw. Advertisement Following her third-round match, Swiatek was asked if she knows what she's going to eat to celebrate her victory over Collins. Let's just say her response was very interesting. "I don't know yet," Swiatek said. "I have my favorite. It's pasta with strawberries. I ate it as a kid. You guys should try it. It's just great."

A few hours later, Swiatek shared a photo of her enjoying a bowl of pasta and strawberries on Instagram. Unsurprisingly, fans were a bit grossed out by Swiatek's post-match meal. "She actually can't be serious," one fan replied. "I will support every Iga's right and wrong, but strawberry on pasta.. girl," a second fan wrote on X. Advertisement "That should be illegal," another fan said. "That's disgusting," a social media user commented. Clearly, Swiatek's favorite meal doesn't hurt her performance on the court. Next up for Swiatek is a showdown with Clara Tauson, who is coming off a straight-sets win over former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina. Swiatek is hoping to make it back to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon for just the second time in her career.

These 7 Netflix Treats Are Worth Watching In July
The start of summer means that most people are out and busy, soaking up the sun, enjoying BBQs and planning last-minute beach getaways. If you're like us, however, you're most likely still locked into all your favourite movies and shows, eagerly scrolling the internet for more news of upcoming cinema releases and streaming drops. Over the last month, Hunger Games fans rejoiced as they announced that Glenn Close would be starring in the latest installment as the cruel custodian of District 12, Drusilla, alongside Billy Porter as drug-addled stylist, Magno. For musical theatre heads, the release of the Wicked: For Good trailer had everybody buzzing with anticipation for the closing chapter of the box-office smash hit. Plus, The Materialists press tour gave us enough content to keep us smiling for weeks to come. Still, as we head into July, we've got our eye on a new slate of content heading our way, with Netflix rolling out plenty of must-see dramas, documentaries and more. To discover all our favourite upcoming shows and movies coming to the platform this month, read on ahead… Our Netflix Star: Too Much Moustache finger tattoos, infinity scarves and Lena Dunham's Girls are often noted as defining moments of the 2010s. Now, Dunham is making her much-anticipated return to television, this time with a a rough around the edges romance about starting over. Taking inspiration from Dunham's own life, the story follows Jessica (Megan Stalter), a 30-something who moves from New York to London following a devastating break up. With all the best intentions to lead a quaint English life, her plans are interrupted when she meets Felix (Will Sharpe), a messy but charming man in a pub toilet. Packed with a talented transatlantic cast including Andrew Scott, Kit Harrington, Richard E Grant, Andrew Rannells, Jessica Alba and Emily Ratajkowski, this is a story about balancing baggage with new beginnings. Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel For those paying attention to fashion in the 2010s, American Apparel was known for giving wearers serious social currency. Becoming one of the most successful US fashion brands, the disco-pant producers were a Tumblr style blogger staple, with sexually promiscuous ad campaigns making them globally famous. But as the new Netflix documentary details, the brand that so many young people wanted to work at was actually crumbling on the inside. Exposing the actions of CEO and founder Dov Charney, the doc discusses the sexual harassment claims, financial mismanagement and toxic work practices that brought about the end of American Apparel. The Old Guard 2 If there's one thing Charlize Theron knows how to do, it's kick ass. Returning for a second instalment, The Old Guard 2 follows Andy (Theron) and the gang on their continuing mission to save the world. As immortals, the group have spent thousands of years trying to do good, but this time they must go up against the first of their kind, Discord (played by a sword-wielding Uma Thurman). Enlisting the help of Tuah (Henry Golding) to try and understand the mystery around their immortality, the warriors must face their biggest challenge yet. The Sandman (Season 2) Split into two parts, The Sandman returns for its final season with 11 new episodes. Based on the award-winning comic book series, the second instalment promises to bring the story to a fulfilling close, following Dream as he embarks on a mission to save the realm, himself and the conscious world from his past actions. Jack Gleeson (Game of Thrones), Indya Moore (Pose) and Freddie Fox (The Great) join the fantasy epic alongside the original cast, including Gwendoline Christie, Stephen Fry and Joely Richardson. Trainwreck: The Real Project X For those old enough to remember the Project X movie, it was a pop culture moment like no other. Based loosely on the plot of a real-life teenager who threw an out-of-control house party, the term 'Project X' subsequently entered the cultural lexicon for Tumblr teens. Now, for the first time, the real Dutch teenager who created an open Facebook event in 2012 speaks about how things went so wrong so quickly when tens of thousands of people signed up to attend. Ending in a full-blown riot and an estimated £15,000 in damages, the doc details exactly how one teenage girl from a tiny town threw the most viral party of the 2010s. Untamed Thinking about heading into the great outdoors this summer? Well, this new Eric Bana-fronted series might have you feeling differently. Set in Yosemite National Park, this mystery thriller follows a National Parks Service agent as he attempts to enforce the law across the sprawling forests and mountainscapes. From the writer behind The Revenant and American Primeval this is a series that examines what happens when humans and the wilderness go up against each other. Happy Gilmore 2 In 1996, Adam Sandler gifted Happy Gilmore to the world, a beloved comedy about a down-on-his-luck hockey player who turns to golf in the hopes of saving his family from bankruptcy. Now, 29 years later, Happy returns to the course, this time a father having to find money to fund his daughter's dance school tuition. With a star-studded cast including Ben Stiller, Julie Bowen, Margaret Qualley, Bad Bunny, Eminem, Post Malone, Rory McIlroy and even Sandler's real-life daughter, Sunny, this promises to be a sports sequel with some substance.

Casino Royale star Caterina Murino pregnant at 47
Former Bond girl Caterina Murino has revealed she is expecting her first child at 47. She has confirmed she is pregnant with a baby boy, due in September, the same month she will turn 48. The Italian actor also revealed she has suffered two heartbreaking miscarriages and a gruelling IVF journey in a bid to become a mum. Murino, who has been in a relationship with French lawyer Edouard Rigaud for eight years, admitted the road to motherhood hasn't been easy. "At my age, I had to ask medicine to help nature," she said, referring to the IVF treatment she underwent. She added: "You don't always decide when the right time to become a mother comes." The star bravely spoke about her previous miscarriages and described her fertility journey as "trying", but said she is now looking forward to the new chapter with joy and gratitude. Murino shot to global fame in 2006 when she starred as a Bond girl alongside Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. She played Solange, one of three women whom Bond seduces, before she is tortured to death later in the film. Murino most recently starred as Olga Sakiris in Amazon Prime's Escort Boys.
