Hang in there, Loki isn't too far off now.

Disney Plus

The void between Marvel series on Disney Plus is slowly shrinking, with Tom Hiddleston's Loki entry set to arrive on June 9. That's still over two weeks away, but at least the promo clips are rolling in to keep the hype strong. Find the latest further down.

Note, the first episode of Loki will hit on a Wednesday, mischievously two days earlier than Loki was previously scheduled to arrive. The first season of Loki will consist of six episodes, releasing one a week on Wednesdays, with expected 40 to 50 minute runtimes. In amazing news, a second season is already in development.

What's Loki about?

The series addresses a timey-wimey issue raised in Avengers: Endgame, when an alternate version of Loki steals the Tesseract and creates a new timeline. Loki ends up in the exquisitely designed organization known as the Time Variance Authority, where the Time Keepers, including Owen Wilson's Mobius, enlist his help in sorting out the mess he's left behind.

Rounding out the cast are more members of the Time Variance Authority, including Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Wunmi Mosaku. Sasha Lane, Richard E. Grant, Sophia Di Martino and Erika Coleman also have roles.

In other words, another big franchise show has arrived to help bridge the gap between The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Loki. Here's the full release schedule, with new episodes arriving every Friday.
