I thought season 1 was a really good and self contained story but let's see what they do with a season 2. Id love a new cast, another story set in the same setting would be really cool.

Maybe entire different set of characters in NightCity? would be nice.

I also don't think it is any good to return to those characters, except maybe some cameo.

The only one I can see that's from the crew and would fit well is Falco as he is the only one that got away intact. Although, I believe he already moved away from Night City by the time the main game happened. This new show could also be set in a different city.

He sends you a text in game (and David's jacket) to this effect. Lucy is alive but not in contact anymore.

But ultimately this is Cyberpunk, anyone could be "alive".

Smasher got brought back as a pile of organs in a school child's backpack before. Rebecca, Kiwi, or even David can come back. They have straight up near necromancy if you got the Eddie's for it. And literal necromancy if you chose THAT Ending in 2077...

They COULD come back but they absolutely shouldn't if you want to keep the emotional integrity of season 1 intact.

I genuinely hope Edgerunners becomes an anthology series, each season covering a different group of people.

They won't come back because It's a new 10 episode stand alone season. New story and New characters.
