LOKI Season 2 Expected To Begin Production In The UK This Summer

We have a big update on Marvel Studios' plans for Loki season 2, and it sounds like production on the Disney+ series will begin a little sooner than most of us expected. Find more details on that here!

Loki remains one of Marvel Studios' best Disney+ TV shows, and is currently the only live-action series to receive a season 2 order from the streaming service.

Those first six episodes ended on a major cliffhanger when Sylvie betrayed her fellow God of Mischief by killing Kang the Conqueror Variant "He Who Remains," thereby bringing back the Multiverse and setting the stage for a massive war with countless Kangs looking to dominate all of reality. As for Loki, he's lost in an alternate timeline where the Time Variance Authority is ruled over by a Kang.

According to Backstage, shooting on Loki season 2 is now set to begin this summer at the UK's Pinewood Studios, which means we should see the series back on Disney+ in early 2023. 

There's no additional intel beyond that, though the site briefly mentions that the casting department is likely to be led by Sarah Finn and Krista Husar, with Jacqueline Gallagher, Gregory Korn, and Lory Shaye. There's no word on who will direct Loki when it returns, but Kate Herron has already announced her plans to move on from the show after helming those first six episodes. 

A few of the show's writers have hinted that they're back at work on Loki, but we don't know if Michael Waldron will return as Head Writer (it seems likely that will be the case, however). 

If this production update is correct, we'll hopefully start getting casting news soon. There's also a chance we could catch up with Loki and Sylvie again in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, especially as they're both responsible for there no longer being just one "Sacred Timeline."

I thought it might have begun already.

It was a cool show I liked it. Mobius is the standout. I need Mobius and Yelena in a project together somehow. And Kate Bishop.

@TheManWithoutFear - Mobius and Yelena, that's an odd pairing but I like it. Bet Yelena likes Jet Skis too, but Mobius would probably judge her for overuse of hot sauce.

I don't really mind the wait, since it's probably the live-action show I liked the least. Something about it just didn't click for me.

Also, wonder if they'll stick to four live-action shows and one animated show per year, because right now a lot seems to be in development/in production.

I loved it.

Best Disney show IMO.

@Fogs - I agree. Reminded me so much of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I hope we see some new variant of Kang. Perhaps a secondary variant. For example, Victor Timely. The mayor of the town of Timely, illinois. It could be a town where time does not pass.

You mean “Lady Loki” also featuring Loki, just like “Hawkeye” was really ‘The Kate Bishop Show’ also featuring Hawkeye. I’m not saying it’s necessarily bad, I’m just saying the title and marketing were deliberately misleading.

@California - I don't know if you can call the title of Loki misleading. Literally it was all about Loki and there were a like a thousand Lokis.

The person you call 'lady Loki' is actually just called Loki.

@California - And gee, I wonder what Kate Bishop's alias is in the comics.

@California - Hence why the LOKI logo changes fonts. It's literally ALL about Loki...just different variants. You couldn't be more off. The title and marketing were spot on.

@California - "Lady Loki" is just another Loki, though. And "Hawkeye" is the title used by both Clint AND Kate, as well as the name of the comic run that directly inspired the series.

Sarah Finn is hopefully being paid the most money any casting director has ever gotten, because she is putting up peak Wilt Chamberlain numbers right now

Not holding my breath for it. Last season was terribly meh. Hope this time the show is at least about Loki doing Loki stuff.

Loki was the best of the D+ shows for me, so this is great news. Now I just need a Season 2 confirmation for Hawkeye.
