MCU shows and movies have garnered a huge fan following. Amongst the ever-growing catalog is Loki, the most critically praised series the studio has to date. The series was led by Tom Hiddleston, the actor who made the fans fall in love with the character. Though Disney was originally going to make the series into the Limited Series category at the Emmys, now it appears that the studio will go through a different route.
A news report from Variety says that Disney will be changing the series’ Emmy approach. The studio will be shifting the series into Drama categories in hopes that the show might win big. Loki will have its job cut out for it in that category, as the competition is fierce.
Is Loki Coming Up With Its Second Season?
Marvel Studios announced the second season of Loki during post-credit scenes. The show will be the only Marvel Studios project to date to get continued on Disney+, also, The second season will have new directors Moon Knight directors Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson will be directing Loki season two and they both have discussed what they are planning for the upcoming project.
During an interview with ComicBook.com, the duo told about how they are planning the second season to be a fresh and new one. Moorhead said, “I think the biggest thing about Loki is just that it’s actually a lot like Moon Knight, where there’s just no reason to do it if it’s not going to be something new and fresh.”
He further added that the MCU stories are very unique and the studio is planning for the second season to be the same as the first, “It’s funny is, it does feel like Marvel would be willing to walk away unless it actually is something that they felt the unexpected. Like from Moon Knight and especially because Moon Knight is a character where nobody knows almost anything about him, yet. Soon to be changed, right? And so our gloves are off and we get to kind of do whatever we want. And everybody at Marvel and ourselves get really excited when we are presented with the unexpected. We also, of course, hope that people watching feel the same way and we’re gonna bring all that to Loki.”
The second season will comprise six episodes just like the first season. The show may start filming in the summer of 2022 and will probably release in early-mid 2023.
