Will there be a season 2 of Loki?

Yes – and fans won’t have to wait too long to see it.

In the credits of the final episode of season one, a card says simply: “Loki will return in season 2.”

Avid fans will have already known this – since the show – starring Night Manager favourite Tom Hiddleston as the titular character – was reportedly renewed for a second season in November 2020 – SEVEN months before it premiered on Disney+.

It is believed filming for season two will begin in January 2022.

What is Loki about?

An alternative version of Loki – the anti-hero in Marvel’s Avengers movies – is arrested by the Time Variance Authority (TVA), who exist outside space and time to monitor the timeline.

Loki, who faces being erased as a “time variant”, is forced to help the TVA fix the timeline by travelling through history and altering it for the better.

The result is a fascinating superhero series and a different twist on the misunderstood character.

Speaking to Empire about the character, Tom said: “Loki is the quintessential shapeshifter.

“His mercurial nature is that you don’t know whether, across the MCU, he’s a hero or a villain or an anti-hero.

“You don’t know whether you can trust him. He literally and physically changes shape into an Asgardian guard, or into Captain America repeatedly.

“Thor talks about how he could change into a snake.”

How can I watch Loki?

The first episode of Loki dropped on June 9 on Disney+.

The final episode of the show aired on July 14th, 2021 – so every episode is now available to watch on the platform.

There are six episodes in total.

The show has been released later than planned having been initially scheduled for May 2021.

Loki is the third Marvel series on Disney+ following the release of WandaVision and The Falcon And The Winter Soldier.
