Loki is an American television series created by Michael Waldron for the streaming service Disney+, based
on Marvel Comics featuring the character of the same name. It is the third television series in the
Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) produced by Marvel Studios, sharing continuity with the films of the
franchise. The series takes place after the events of the film Avengers: Endgame (2019), in which an
alternate version of Loki created a new timeline. Waldron serves as head writer, with Kate Herron
directing for the first season.
Loki premiered on June 9, 2021. Its first season, consisting of six episodes, concluded on July 14 and
is part of Phase Four of the MCU. It received positive reviews, with praise for the performances,
musical score, and visuals. A second season is in development.
After stealing the Tesseract during the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019), an alternate version of Loki
is brought to the mysterious Time Variance Authority (TVA), a bureaucratic organization that exists
outside of time and space and monitors the timeline. They give Loki a choice: face being erased from
existence due to being a "time variant", or help fix the timeline and stop a greater threat. Loki ends
up trapped in his own crime thriller, traveling through time.
