Summary
TheLokiseason 2 release date was moved up sooner than planned as if Tom Hiddleston’s God of Mischief was messing with the timeline again.
Lokiseason 1 was adored by fans and critics, becoming one of the best Disney Plus Marvel Studios shows.Lokiseason 2 has several issues to address, including what happened to the TVA. Fans would get a second season but would have to wait a while before finally seeing it. The wait will be shorter, as Disney Plus has decided to move up the release date.

Marvel Studiosannounced that theLoki season 2 release date will be moved to Thursday, October 5th at 6 p.m. Pacific time, which is 9 p.m. Eastern time.Lokiseason 2 was originally going to premiereon October 6th. Alongside the announcement was a video of behind-the-scenes footage from the show’s production.
It was revealed in a press release that subsequent episodes will also be released on Thursdays at 6 p.m. Pacific time. This will be the first MCU Disney Plus show to get a 6 p.m. PT release, as all the others have been midnight releases. Disney Plus has been constantly shifting release dates and times for their series.Ahsokawas supposed to premiere on Wednesdaybefore being moved to Tuesdays. Ahsoka was also given the 6 p.m. premiere time, which may be whyLokiis getting it.
Much like season 1, Loki season 2 will also be six episodes long. This new premiere date means the finale will be released on November 9th as long as Disney Plus doesn’t do a 2 episode premiere. If this is the case, that means theLokiseason 2 finale will be released a day before the theatrical release ofThe Marvels. Like most films,The Marvelswill have Thursday night showings that would conflict with theLokiseason 2 finale.
It seems odd that Marvel Studios would have theLokiseason 2 finale clash with the Thursday nightshowings ofThe Marvels, but they may have decided that it would be better than clashing with the Friday night showings. Marvel Studios could still fix this by releasing 2 episodes on the same day or by shifting the release day and time again. Fans should keep their eyes peeled for any more “time slipping."
Lokiseason 2 premieres on October 5th, 2023.
