Storyline
According to the show’s only Season 2 logline, “the second season promises new excitement as it thrusts the infamous God of Mischief into a new set of adventures with the TVA.” But according to trailers and photos released for the season so far, it appears that the story will pick up where viewers left off as Loki was pushed back into the TVA through a TemPad-created portal opened by Sylvie. After stabbing He Who Remains and setting the sacred timeline free, chaos is sure to ensue as Loki experiences something known as “time slipping” as different realities begin crashing into one another.
Only time will tell where the latest chapter will take fans, but it’s sure to be exciting. One detail we do know about Season 2’s storylines is Loki and Sylvie are set to reunite at a 1982 McDonald’s which was carefully created for the screen with the help of the fast food chain’s historian. The company has been promoting the show’s return with a special Loki-branded Sweet ‘N Sour sauce.
