Will there be a Loki Season 3? Find out what we know about the possibility of a third season after the epic finale of Season 2.
With 15 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, many consider Loki to be the most remarkable character in the entire franchise. His character development is unparalleled, starting as an orphan god and brother to an Avenger, causing chaos across civilizations as he searches for his true purpose in the universe.
Loki Season 2 finds Tom Hiddleston's mischievous character in a precarious situation. With the demise of He Who Remains, the TVA and countless timelines face grave jeopardy. Adding to his troubles is a newfound affliction: sporadic time-slipping that thrusts him unpredictably through the past, present, and future, with no command over it.
After the exhilarating and outstanding conclusion of the second season, which is now available on Disney Plus, fans are now speculating about the possibility of a third season for Loki. (Spoiler alert: continue reading for details...)
Will there be a Loki Season 3?
Loki hasn’t been renewed for Season 3 – and it looks like it may never happen.
Loki Season 2 provides fans with a satisfying conclusion for the main character, while also setting the stage for upcoming MCU movies such as The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars.
In the final episode, Loki not only saves the fabric of time by destroying the Temporal Loom, but also assumes the role of the keeper of time, essentially becoming the MCU's God of Stories. This signifies a significant departure from his mischievous past as he embraces this new responsibility.
Eric Martin, the series' head writer, expressed to CinemaBlend that the approach taken was similar to that of viewing two halves of a book. The first half encompassing Season 1, while Season 2 concludes the journey of Loki and the TVA. Anything beyond that remains uncertain, as Martin simply desired to narrate a comprehensive and conclusive story throughout these two seasons.
While Season 3 of Loki is not guaranteed, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has already planned out its future extensively. There are rumors that Deadpool 3 will incorporate the Time Variance Authority (TVA), which could potentially lead to a cameo from Loki if the irreverent hero starts causing chaos across different timelines and eliminating characters from the previous Fox universe.
Interestingly, Martin's comments contradict those of executive producer Kevin Wright, who has expressed optimism about revisiting Loki's world in the future. Wright proudly stated that Loki Season 2 was completed on schedule and within budget, without requiring any additional filming. This achievement may make Loki a trailblazing project within the Marvel universe.
"Loki still maintains a generous budget in comparison to typical TV shows, and moving forward, we will continue to prioritize efficiency while also ensuring the possibility of multiple seasons. The essence of long-form storytelling lies in establishing a sustainable narrative, and it appears that we are successfully achieving that goal with Loki. Thus, I am enthusiastic about continuing to explore and share stories within this unique universe we have created."
Wright also hinted to Deadline that the consequences of Loki's second season "will have a ripple effect on other projects," and emphasized the ongoing narrative potential of the TVA, highlighting it as one of the facets that excites the team.
Is there a Loki Season 3 release date?
No, Loki Season 3 doesn’t have a release date.
Given that Loki's series has not been renewed for a third season and the writers and cast have hinted that it serves as the conclusion to Loki's story, any updates on future developments may be a long time coming. However, we will diligently update this space with any new information that emerges.

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I have mixed feelings about the possibility of Loki Season 3. On one hand, I am satisfied with the conclusion of Season 2 and how it wrapped up Loki's character arc. The show has come full circle, and it feels like a natural ending. On the other hand, I am also intrigued by the potential for more stories to be told in the Loki universe. The character is so complex and fascinating, and there are still many aspects of his story that could be explored.
Overall, I think it would be great if there was a Loki Season 3, but I am also happy with the way the show ended if it doesn't get renewed. I trust that the writers and producers will make the best decision for the character and the story.
