The second season of Marvel Studios’ Loki drew less viewership than the first season did, according to newly estimated figures.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Nielsen’s streaming rankings say Loki gathered approximately 446 million minutes of viewing time over the first three days of the second season’s debut. These 446 million minutes include viewings of the first season, meaning Loki Season 2’s numbers are likely slightly, but not significantly, lower than that amount.
Comparatively, the 2021 series premiere of Loki received approximately 731 million minutes of viewing, meaning season two’s numbers are roughly 39 percent lower than the first season.
On October 9, 2023, THR published an article based on “internal viewing data from the streamer [Disney+]” claiming the second season premiere received 10.9 million “views,” which would translate to approximately 512 million minutes of view time. Disney also said the opener of Loki Season 2 was the second most-watched Disney+ series premiere following The Mandalorian Season 3’s first episode.
What is Loki Season 2 about?
“The next season picks up in the aftermath of the shocking season finale when Loki finds himself in a battle for the soul of the Time Variance Authority,” the official synopsis for the MCU series reads. “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.”
Coming from head writers Eric Martin, Justin Benson, and Aaron Moorhead, Marvel‘s Loki Season 2 stars Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wunmi Mosaku, Sophia Di Martino, Jonathan Majors, and Rafael Casal.
The first five episodes of Loki Season 2 are currently streaming on Disney+. The season finale airs on November 9, 2023, from Marvel Studios.
