Tom Hiddleston's God of Mischief is back for another tangle with the variants of He Who Remains (played by Jonathan Majors) and Miss Minutes (voiced by Tara Strong).
Loki season 2 will debut on Disney+ on October 6, 2023, and will consist of six episodes. It will be included in the MCU's Phase Five.
Also returning for season 2 are Owen Wilson as Mobius M. Mobius, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Ravonna Renslayer, Sophia Di Martino as Sylvie, and Wunmi Mosaku as Hunter B-15.
New cast members include Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All at Once), Rafael Casal (Blindspotting), and Kate Dickie (Game of Thrones).
Plot specifics for the second season are unknown; however, the teaser depicts Loki and Mobius collaborating to explore a new threat to the timeline. Previously released footage also shows a multiverse plot, with Loki meeting what appears to be a new variant of He Who Remains (Victor Timely), after the TVA creator was killed by Sylvie in season 1.
The first trailer for Loki season 2 broke a Disney+ record with over 80 million views, indicating that despite the lukewarm response to more recent Disney+ MCU offerings, interest in Loki remains high. It will certainly be interesting to see if that level of interest remains once the show starts airing.
The sophomore season of the God of Mischief's TVA adventures also has a relatively modest budget, especially when compared to Marvel's Secret Invasion.
Loki season 2 is set to premiere on Disney+ on October 6.
The show escaped Disney+'s latest round of release date shuffling which saw What If...? pushed to December 2023, Echo delayed to January 2024, X-Men ’97 to Q1 2024, and Agatha: Darkhold Diaries rescheduled for an October 2024 release date.
Additionally, Ironheart, Daredevil: Born Again and Wonder Man were pulled off Marvel's release schedule. It's thought that these projects aren't canceled but the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes are leaving Marvel Studios executives with no idea of when they'll resume production.
