Fans are eagerly awaiting Loki season 2 to be aired on Disney+, which got pushed back from mid-2023 to the second half of the year. As the end credits of season 1 prophesied, there was going to be a sequel to the hugely popular series on the God of Mischief. The show was never meant to be a limited series like The Falcon and The Winter Soldier and WandaVision. Moreover, the turn of events in season 1 necessitated a follow-up sequel.

While Loki season 2 will continue the story from where it left off in the previous season, it will also tie into the next phase of the MCU. After keeping quiet for two years, the Asgardian mischief-maker was set to make a comeback around May or June this year. However, the series was delayed due to creative and production issues and pushed aside for a few months.

At last, the tentative date for the release of Loki season 2 is set for October 6, 2023. Fans can catch it exclusively on Disney+. Many of the actors from season 1 are continuing with their roles. The storyline can take numerous turns after the cliffhanger at the end of the previous season.


Loki season 2: Expected date, cast, and other information available

After a long delay, delighted fans can expect to watch their favorite troublemaker in action on October 6 this year. The release date was not declared before, with reports suggesting a possible release in early 2024. However, the delay happened to achieve perfection in digital editing and visual effects. The added months in post-production are expected to satisfy the audience.

Some of the actors confirmed for Loki season 2 are:

  1. · Tom Hiddleston – Loki Laufeyson
  2. · Sophia Di Martino – Sylvie Laufeydottir
  3. · Owen Wilson – Mobius M Mobius
  4. · Gugu Mbatha-Raw – Ravonna Renslayer
  5. · Eugene Cordero – Casey/Hunter K-5E
  6. · Ke Huy Quan – TBC/Ouroboros
  7. · Wunmi Mosaku – Hunter B-15
  8. · Neil Ellice – Hunter D-90
  9. · Tara Strong – Miss Minutes
  10. · Liz Carr
  11. · Kate Dickie
  12. · Rafael Casal
  13. · Jonathan Majors – He Who Remains/Victor Timely/Kang the Conqueror

The plot of Loki season 2 has multiple options, and the storyline can move in any direction after Sophie killed He Who Remains in season 1. Just like season 1, this series will have six episodes. As actor Tom Hiddleston said, there may be a battle for the soul of TVA, and the storyline may reveal an emotional side of Loki.

Thor is likely to have a cameo in the show, as rumored. While the plot will connect smoothly with the multiverse saga of the MCU, executive producer Nate Moore confirmed that Loki was envisioned with multiple seasons.


Will Jonathan Majors’ case affect Loki season 2?

After his impressive performance in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Creed 3 and a promise to come up as the grand villain of Phases 5 and 6 of the MCU, his arrest and the possibility of prison change the scenario. Some viewers believed that the delay occurred due to Kang the Conqueror actor Jonathan Majors’ assault case.

However, the actor features in season 2 in some of the many variants of Kang the Conqueror. Slated for a more significant role in the upcoming season, the actor’s trial on August 3 is worrisome. As such, Marvel Studios showed a subtle judiciousness by reducing the controversial actor’s exposure in their marketing plans.

Jonathan’s role as the arch-villain to challenge the charismatic God of Mischief is the prime attraction for the series. To top it off, Marvel has already hinted at the presence of about three variants of Kang in Avengers 5, one of whom briefly premiered in Quantumania.

The viewers’ excitement about Kang will be negatively impacted if the actor is convicted of the harassment charges. While some viewers are demanding a recasting of the important character, re-filming Loki season 2 looks impossible at this juncture.


What is the likely plot idea for Loki season 2?

While the makers kept the plot a closely guarded secret with only a synopsis revealed, there will be more time travel and variants of Kang throughout history. In season 1, Sophie slayed He Who Remains and opened up the multiverse with the possibilities of multiple timelines and realities.

As such, it is rumored that TVA may also connect to Deadpool 3, and Loki season 2 may lay the foundation for that storyline to move forward. As Ravonna told Mobius, the free will that she went in search of may also be covered in this season. If she collaborates with Kang, as in the comics, Loki will need to face two villains.


Loki season 2: Makers and where to watch

Kate Herron, showrunner for season 1, has stepped down from the role. While Eric Martin is the creator, Isaac Bauman is the cinematographer. Natalie Holt is the music director; Paul Zucker is the editor; and Justice Benson and Aaron Moorhead are the directors.

The production house for the show is Marvel Studios, and it is distributed by Disney Platform. Fans can watch the second season of the series on the Disney+ OTT streaming platform.

Catch Loki season 2 on October 6, 2023, on Disney+ exclusively.
