Loki season 2 confirmed as series ends on massive cliffhanger
What’s next for Tom Hiddleston’s God of Mischief? **WARNING: Contains major spoilers.**
So that was the end of Loki… or was it? After months of speculation, Marvel and Disney have finally confirmed what fans suspected for a while: Loki will be back for season two, unlike fellow Marvel Disney Plus shows like WandaVision or The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
The recommissioning was confirmed in the post-credits scene for Loki episode six, which saw Loki’s Time Variance Authority file (a regular image in the series) stamped with red ink that read: “Loki will return in season 2.”
Frankly, by that stage the news wasn’t a big surprise, as the season one finale had ended with a massive cliffhanger that definitely needed some resolving. We’ll delve into that ending now, but beware – we’ll be dealing with spoilers.

The episode saw Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Sylvie (Sophia di Martino) finally track down the villain behind the TVA, who lived in a mysterious citadel at the end of time. Played by Jonathan Majors, the character was unnamed in the episode – but fans will have recognised him as a version of Kang, a classic time-travelling villain long rumoured for the series.
He offered the pair a choice – kill him and get their revenge, but splinter the Sacred Timeline, or take his place at the head of the TVA. The kicker? If they do splinter the timeline then they’ll be invaded by evil versions of Kang, who caused the original multiversal war.
After some back and forth and fighting, Sylvie zaps Loki back into the TVA and kills Majors’ character, who she believes is lying. He says he’ll see her again soon – apparently referencing his alternate selves – and dies, leaving her uneasy and alone.
Meanwhile, back at the TVA Loki desperately tries to explain to Mobius (Owen Wilson) and Hunter B-15 (Wunmi Mosaka) what had happened but they have no idea who he is. Confused and distraught, Loki realises that the statue of the Time-keepers in the TVA has been replaced by a vast statue of Majors’ character or Kang, and that the world he lives in has been rewritten.
So have the evil Kangs already taken over the TVA? Is Loki in a different universe? And where did Renslayer (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) go when she said she was looking for “free will”?
At least now we know that we’ll get some answers, whenever season two finally arrives. Let the speculation begin!
