What is Season 2 About?
The second season continues directly from the Season 1 finale. After Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) killed He Who Remains (a variant of Kang the Conqueror), the Sacred Timeline began to branch out of control, creating a dangerous multiverse.
In Season 2, Loki finds himself time slipping—uncontrollably moving back and forth in time within the TVA. He teams up with Mobius (Owen Wilson), Hunter B-15 (Wunmi Mosaku), and a new quirky TVA technician named Ouroboros, played by Ke Huy Quan.
The official synopsis from Disney reads: “Loki Season 2 picks up in the aftermath of the shocking season finale when Loki finds himself in a battle for the soul of the Time Variance Authority. Along with Mobius, Hunter B-15 and a team of new and returning characters, Loki navigates an ever-expanding and increasingly dangerous multiverse in search of Sylvie, Judge Renslayer, Miss Minutes, and the truth of what it means to possess free will and glorious purpose” .
Main Cast in Season 2
The core cast from the first season returned for the second, with some exciting new additions. The main cast includes:
- Tom Hiddleston as Loki
- Owen Wilson as Mobius M. Mobius
- Sophia Di Martino as Sylvie
- Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Ravonna Renslayer
- Wunmi Mosaku as Hunter B-15

What Happened to Loki After Season 2?
Although the topic focuses on the release of Episode 1, it is worth noting the impact the season had on the character. The finale of Season 2, which aired in November 2023, provided a definitive end to Loki’s story arc. At the end of the season, Loki transforms from the God of Mischief into the God of Stories. He destroys the Temporal Loom and takes his place at the End of Time, holding all the branching timelines together in the shape of Yggdrasil, the World Tree .
Since then, fans have wondered if the character will return. Tom Hiddleston addressed the future of the series in April 2024. He admitted he was uncertain if the show would continue for a third season. “I truly don’t know,” he said. “There have been other times when I thought it was the end and I’ve been mistaken, but if this is the end, I’m so proud of where we ended up” .
However, this is not the last audiences will see of the character. Tom Hiddleston has confirmed he has finished filming for Avengers: Doomsday, which is scheduled to release on December 18, 2026. He described the film as “monumental” and said the story was very surprising when he first read it . Loki is confirmed to appear in the upcoming Avengers films, meaning the God of Stories will return to the big screen.
