The montage highlights Netflix’s commitment to a diverse slate of genre storytelling that spans action, mystery, and supernatural thriller aesthetics.
Announcements from last year’s Geeked Week are also part of the broader conversation around the event and the platform’s ongoing anime slate. Geeked Week has become a focal point for fans to glimpse upcoming releases, learn about production updates, and hear from creators about their creative visions. It is a space where Netflix showcases its evolving catalog and strategic partnerships with studios and creators in the anime and genre entertainment space.
Recall that Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was first announced in the summer of 2020. The series comprises 10 episodes and follows a streetwise protagonist navigating the perilous, dazzling streets of Night City. The setting is crafted to reflect a harsh, vividly realized urban landscape where technology and humanity collide, creating a backdrop ideal for high-stakes action and intimate character moments alike. The project drew direction from Hiroyuki Imaishi, renowned for his work on Gurren Lagann, which lends a kinetic, stylized energy to the series. The soundtrack is by Akira Yamaoka, the composer celebrated for his work on the Silent Hill franchise, bringing an atmospheric, forestalled tension to the audio landscape that fans have come to associate with immersive cyberpunk storytelling.
