In Loki Season 2, the God of Mischief finds himself at the center of a cosmic crisis, with the fate of the multiverse hanging in the balance. Teaming up with familiar allies, Loki navigates complex timelines, uncovers hidden truths about the TVA, and confronts the consequences of choices made across time. As the chaos escalates, he must embrace his unique abilities and decide what truly matters in his quest to bring order to a fractured reality. The season delivers high-stakes action, emotional depth, and a profound exploration of destiny and identity.

With the first season of Loki ending on a cliffhanger, Marvel collectors will be excited to complete the series on home video.
