It's not a surprise that 'Loki' is getting a second season
Deadline reported in January a second season of "Loki" would be on the way. In November 2020, fans noticed that Production Weekly reported that a second season of "Loki" was in production under the working title "Architect."
If you were simply tuning into the "Loki" season finale unaware of whether or not it would get a second season, you probably weren't surprised by the episode's end. "Loki" leaves fans on a major cliff-hanger.
After discovering that the person behind the Time Variance Authority (TVA) was comic villain Kang, Sylvie and Loki found themselves at an impasse.
In the end, Sylvie wound up sending Loki back to the TVA and killing Kang. It's not clear what she hoped to accomplish by doing that, but her actions resulted in the timeline branching off into multiple paths.
Loki, meanwhile, back at the TVA, was horrified to learn that he wasn't sent back to his original timeline. Instead, he found himself, heartbreakingly, in front of a Mobius who didn't recognize him.
In the finale's final moments, a horrified Loki shudders as he slowly realizes he's in an alternate TVA timeline with a (likely) more treacherous version of Kang, who the benevolent Kang tried to warn about.
Heading into a second season, we're left to wonder if Loki will reunite with Mobius from the original timeline, if he'll someway make his way back to the end of time to confront Sylvie, just how dangerous these variants of Kang are, and what Sylvie will do now that she has accomplished her goal of taking down a version of the TVA.
