Altered Carbon Season 2, produced by Skydance, is needlecasting its way back to Netflix on February 27, 2020 , continuing the cyberpunk adventures of Takeshi Kovacs - only this time, he's wearing an Anthony Mackie Sleeve instead of the Joel Kinnaman edition we met in Season 1. If you can't wait for the premiere, you're in luck - IGN has an exclusive first look at Mackie's debut as Kovacs in the video below:

Back in Season 1, we learned that Sleeves can be upgraded with unique traits that can make them more proficient in combat (if you have the cash and connections, anyway). Judging by the first-look teaser trailer above, it appears that Mackie's Takeshi has the ability to call his guns to his hands at will, which we're betting will come in handy, given all the trouble he seems to get himself into. Mackie himself is no stranger to action, having been a mainstay in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for years, and he'll soon star in the upcoming The Falcon and The Winter Soldier series, which is set to debut on Disney+ in August Here's how Netflix describes Season 2 of Altered Carbon:"Season 2 finds Takeshi Kovacs (Anthony Mackie), the lone surviving soldier of a group of elite interstellar warriors, continuing his centuries-old quest to find his lost love Quellcrist Falconer (Renée Elise Goldsberry). After decades of planet-hopping and searching the galaxy, Kovacs finds himself recruited back to his home planet of Harlan’s World with the promise of finding Quell. Haunted by his past and responsible for investigating a series of brutal murders, Kovacs is stunned to discover his new mission to solve the crime and his pursuit to find Quell are one and the same. With the help of his loyal A.I. Poe (Chris Conner), Kovacs must now partner with new allies to outwit his enemies and find the truth: Who is Quellcrist Falconer?"We also have exclusive images from Season 2 featuring more of Mackie as Takeshi Kovacs, Chris Conner as Poe, and new cast addition Simone Missick as Trepp, in the gallery below:

Other prominent characters featured in the teaser are the original Kovacs, played by Will Yun Lee; and Quellcrist Falconer (Renée Elise Goldsberry) herself. If you're in need of a refresher, Falconer is Takeshi's centuries-old former lover, who also created Stack technology and was the leader of the rebellion that sought to end the reign of the Meths -- wealthy individuals who can live forever by re-sleeving into new bodies. We'll see if Tak and Quell's paths are destined to cross again when Altered Carbon returns on February 27.
