'Loki' season 1 ends with confirmation of season 2
The news comes a day after Disney+ raked in 71 Emmy nominations.
"Loki" season 2 is officially a go at Disney+.
The season 1 finale, which dropped Wednesday, left fans of Tom Hiddleston's Asgardian trickster wanting more and didn't make them wait long before confirming mid-credits there is more fun on the horizon.
This news comes fresh off Marvel Studios snagging 28 Emmy nominations for two small-screen efforts in 2021, with "WandaVision" snagging 23 and "The Falcon and The Winter Soldier" earning five for their respective first seasons. In total, Disney+ earned 71 nominations.
This marks the first time the studio has confirmed one of its Disney+ projects will return for a second season.
Previously, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige said that the events of "WandaVision" and "The Falcon and The Winter Soldier" would play out on the big screen, first with Emmy nominee Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff's appearance in "Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness" in 2022. He did, however, claim "there will be other places" the story could continue, though not elaborating on where those places might be.
As for "The Falcon and The Winter Soldier," which ended with Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson taking up the mantle of Captain America, setting the stage for an in-development fourth Captain America film. The name of the series was even changed to "Captain America and The Winter Soldier" in the closing credits.
"Loki" season 1 is available to stream on Disney+.
Marvel Studios is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News and "Good Morning America."
