‘Loki’ will return for a second season on Disney +

The god of mischief will continue his glorious purpose in another season. If this sounds like complete gibberish, you probably haven’t watched Loki. Today, Disney revealed that the Marvel Studios series will return for a second season on Disney +. The media giant took advantage of the show’s finale to break the news. Halfway through the end credits of the sixth episode, Loki’s record can be seen with a stamp that says “Loki will be back in season 2”.

The decision was probably obvious: Loki had the streaming service’s most-watched premiere in June when Disney + shifted its release days for the originals from Friday to Wednesday. Now, it’s become the first Disney + Marvel show to get a second season renewal. Meanwhile, the fate of WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier remains much less certain, despite the originals winning 23 and five Emmy nominations respectively.

Loki helped establish some of the main storytelling elements that will run through Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including the multiple universes that will be explored in the upcoming film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Now is a good time to be a Marvel fan in general. Last week saw the release of Black Widow on Disney + Premier Access and theaters, ending a two-year drought for the Marvel films. The action flick grossed $ 60 million on the streaming service and over $ 215 million worldwide. Just a few days ago, Disney also revealed that Marvel’s animated show What if…? would debut on Disney + on August 11.
