The first season explored one of the most iconic villains in MCU lore and gave fans their first taste of the vast and previously unexplored multiverse.
Starring Tom Hiddleston in the title role, Loki introduced the Time Variance Authority, the idea of a Variant version of Marvel characters, all the while taking viewers through the very destruction of the entire organization.

With the second season of the series already in production, fans can’t wait to see just what comes out of Loki’s continued journey; and it appears we now know just who will be piloting the ship.
It has recently been announced via Deadline that Moon Knight directors, Justin Benson and Aaron Moorehead, are set to direct Loki season 2; with some of the vital voices responsible for the first season returning to give some much-needed guidance.

Micheal Waldron, who was responsible for writing all of the season one as well as the long-awaited Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, will return to Loki as an executive producer alongside Tom Hiddleston in an expanded role.
All six episodes of the series in the second season will also be written by Eric Martine; a writer who contributed to Loki’s first season, as well as a contributor to the wildly popular Rick and Morty.

In Benson and Moorehead, the series will likely take a much darker turn, with the duo known for their work in the horror genre; the expertise they are bringing to the enigmatic and brutal Marvel project, Moon Knight.
With the long-awaited Moon Knight yet to make its debut, Marvel must like what the duo have done with their episodes, as the tone should be a much darker shift from what Loki tackled in its first season.

Either way, we cannot wait for what Loki Season 2 has in store, and are more than excited to see what Benson and Moorehead bring to those characters.
