Tom Hiddleston’s trickster god and fan favourite character Loki has finally had his own solo outing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in the the form of a self-titled six-part series on Disney Plus.
The show follows Thor’s adopted brother Loki after his Avengers Endgame time-heist escape leads him to embark upon a new story of his own.
Hiddleston’s Asgardian God of Mischief is joined in the series by co-stars Owen Wilson, Sophia Di Martino, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Richard E. Grant, which is set to end today in what looks to be a thrilling season finale.

Will there be a second series of Loki on Disney Plus?
Though neither Disney Plus or Marvel Studios have officially confirmed whether or not there will be a second series of Loki, there are plenty of clues pointing to there being more to come from the former Avengers villain.
In April, Nate Moore, Vice President of Production and Development at Marvel Studios, said of all the MCU spin-off shows (including WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier), Loki was the most likely to get a second series.
He said: “I think there’s a lot of storytelling in Loki that’s really irreverent and clever and cool, but also lends itself to multiple seasons in a way where it’s not a one-off.”

According to the information in the newsletter, Loki season two is reportedly set to begin filming as soon as January 2022, so there could well be another series within the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
