Loki is the Marvel Studios' 2021 live-action TV series for Disney+ based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name.
Tom Hiddleston reprises the role he originated in the Thor film series and continued in multiple Avengers movies. Though the character died several times (and with seeming finality in Avengers: Infinity War) fans know he had an opportunity for further mischief when, in Avengers: Endgame a time-travelling Tony Stark allows a past version of Loki to steal the tesseract. This act alters the fabric of reality bringing him into the crosshairs of Time Keepers, a bureaucratic organization tasked with keeping the timeline intact. Mobius (Owen Wilson) enlists the now-captive-and-not-to-be-trusted Loki in a mission to restore the timeline and set things right.
In addition to Hiddleston and Wilson, actors Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophia Di Martino, Wunmi Mosaku and Richard E. Grant are among the cast.
Reportedly, the show will set up events that play out in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.
Kate Herron, best known for Netflix's Sex Education, handles directing duties. Michael Waldron (HarmonQuest) serves as the head writer of the show.
Season two for the show was announced in the closing credits for season one, which ends on a major cliffhanger. Directing team Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead have reportedly signed on to direct a majority of episodes for season two, following good interactions with Marvel on Moon Knight. The season series is being executive produced by Hiddleston and Waldron. Eric Martin is writing what will be a six-episode arc.
Joining the cast for season two is Rafael Casal.
