In just three days on the streaming platform, the premiere episode had almost 11 million views
Disney+, which rarely releases audience data for its productions, has revealed that the premiere episode of the second season of Loki, released on October 5, had 10.9 million views in just three days on the streaming platform.
According to Deadline, this would be the second best premiere of the year, second only to the premiere of the third season of The Mandalorian in March. Although Disney+ didn’t release official figures at the time, an estimate by data company Nielsen revealed that, in its first few days on the streaming platform, the episode would have had around 823 million minutes played.
In the second season of Loki, the God of Mischief, once again played by Tom Hiddleston, has to deal with the consequences of Sylvie’s (Sophia Di Martino) decision to kill He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors), one of the variants of Kang the Conqueror, which ended up causing a collapse in the multiverse.
In addition to Hiddleston, Di Matino and Majors, the second year, which will have six episodes, also features the return of Owen Wilson as Mobius, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Ravonna Renslayer, Wunmi Mosaku as Hunter B-15, Eugene Cordero as Casey, Tara Strong as Miss Minutes.
Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere at Once), Rafael Casal (Blindspotting) and Kate Dickie (Inside Man) are new additions to the new episodes, which are released every Thursday at 10pm on Disney+. Watch the trailer for the second year of Loki:
