The new Season 2 premiere date is just a small tweak from the previously announced Oct. 6 launch, but it does mark the first time a Marvel Studios series has dropped in primetime hours. Disney+’s Star Wars offshoot Ahsoka, meanwhile, has also been an evening release, with new installments becoming available on Tuesdays at 9 pm ET instead of Wednesday mornings.

Set in the aftermath of the Season 1 finale (read our full recap here), Loki‘s second season finds Tom Hiddleston’s God of Mischief in a battle for the soul of the Time Variance Authority. “Along with Mobius, Hunter B-15 and a team of new and returning characters, Loki navigates an ever-expanding and increasingly dangerous multiverse in search of Sylvie, Judge Renslayer, Miss Minutes and the truth of what it means to possess free will and glorious purpose,” the logline tells us.

Owen Wilson, Sophia Di Martino, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wunmi Mosaku, Jonathan Majors and Tara Strong (as the voice of Miss Minutes) all will be back for Season 2, while new faces include Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All at Once), Rafael Casal (Blindspotting), Kate Dickie (Inside Man) and Liz Carr (Silent Witness).
