The God of Mischief, Loki, is returning for season 2, and he is not having a good time dealing with time!
Loki Season 1 was a phenomenal success, attracting a huge fan base and rave reviews. Fans’ curiosity for season 2 was heightened by the agonizing cliffhanger with which its predecessor ended.
How will the God of Mischief cope with the new reality he faces? Who are his allies and enemies in this multiverse madness? These are some of the questions that Loki Season 2 will answer, and we have all the details you need to know about it, including the release date, trailer, and cast!
1. Loki Season 2 release Date
Loki Season 2 is slated to premiere on October 6, 2023, on Disney+.
The show’s writer, Michael Waldron, had secured a deal with Disney for two seasons so that season 2 could be launched right after season 1.
However, Marvel’s original schedule was altered by Kevin Feige, resulting in a delayed release of the show until the end of 2023.
On July 29, 2023, Marvel Studios unveiled the first poster for Loki Season 2, offering us a glimpse of what is to come. The poster shows various versions of Loki running around Miss Minutes.
She may have a significant role in the upcoming season since none of the TVA personnel remember Loki. The poster is a typical example of Marvel’s signature marketing- probing yet discrete.
Just two days back, Marvel released the full trailer for Loki season 2, and it is bombastic, to say the least!
The trailer showcases stunning cinematography with remarkable CGI scenes. We see Loki traversing time while Mobius is trying to figure out how to rectify Loki’s temporal escapades.
The 2-minute trailer tantalizes us with out-of-the-box action scenes and mysterious new characters like Ouroboros. We also catch a glimpse of a film premiere called Zaniac, meaning Marvel will introduce a brand new character in the mix.
In the comics, Zaniac was a monstrous being spawned by Dormamu. After that, he possessed the notorious Ted Bundy, instigating him to commit unspeakable crimes.
After Bundy’s death, Zaniac found a new home in Brad Wolfe, an actor who starred in a Zaniac movie. These clues suggest that we may witness Zaniac’s live-action debut in the series.
In the end, Sylvie also joins a spectacular combat sequence, with Loki encountering different versions of himself.
3. Loki Season 2 Cast
Loki season 2 will feature a plethora of returning and new characters. As expected, Tom Hiddleston will play the iconic Loki, and Owen Wilson will resume his role as Mobius M. Mobius.
Sophia Di Martino will reappear as Loki’s unsung female variant, Sylvie. Tara Strong will provide the voice of Miss Minutes, and Ke Hue Quan will play O.B.
Jonathan Majors will join the cast as Kang, along with Wunmi Mosaku as Hunter B-15. These two will fulfill the quota of major villains in the season.

4. Loki Season 2 Plot
The MCU has unveiled Loki Season 2’s trailer, offering intriguing insights about the storyline. The first season ended with a shocking twist, as Sylvie assassinated the Kang variant known as “The One Who Remains” and banished Loki to a TVA where no one recognized him.
The trailer reveals that Mobius has somehow regained his memory of Loki, and they seek the assistance of OB, played by Ke Hue Quan, to deal with Loki’s temporal instability that causes him to glitch in and out of time.
We also catch a glimpse of Sylvie, this time as a McDonald’s worker. Will she join hands with Loki this time?
One of the most striking scenes in the trailer is Mobius in a spacesuit descending a ramp towards the sacred timeline splitting into multiple branches, presumably to repair it…by hand?
How does one fix time by hand? Well, we will have to wait until October 6, 2023, to find out!
Based on the available information, the plot of Loki season two will revolve around Mobius and Loki trying to find a cure for Loki’s time slipping while also facing a looming threat from the diverging timelines. The trailer is cleverly crafted to conceal the exact details of the plot, but we can infer the general outline of the series from by the way of predictions.
As of now, all we can do is speculate the plot for season 2 and count the days till October 6 arrives!
Until then, stay tuned to catch all the news and updates on the latest MCU shows. Ciao!
