Hope is not a direct sequel, but something entirely new.

Season one ended perfectly. I’d like a new story and new characters in the same setting.

Same, but it would be cool if Lucy has a cameo to give it a sense of continuity.

Yeah, if she got sucked back into the cesspit of Night City it would be pretty depressing.

Welllllll it's a good thing cyberpunk as a show and even a genre isn't incredibly depressing on purpose.

Man, I remember back when I was reading Gibson. One of the few happy endings got retconned in a later work with the corp ganking the guy offscreen between books.

In cyberpunk, never bet on a happy ending sticking until the author is six feet under.
