The numbers are finally in for the Loki Season 2 finale and not surprisingly, millions of viewers tuned in for the God of Mischief's glorious purpose. Loki Season 2 Episode 6 has just been confirmed to be the most-viewed Marvel Cinematic Universe show's season finale on Disney+ for the year 2023.
The conclusion of Loki Season 2 marks a satisfying end to Tom Hiddleston's 14-year journey from the mischievous God of Mischief to God Loki. The series, lauded for its creativity and execution, has become a standout in the MCU, successfully engaging fans and attracting significant viewership. According to Deadline, the finale of Season 2 garnered 11.2 million global views on Disney+ within its first three days, surpassing the premiere episode's numbers and becoming the most-viewed MCU season finale on the streaming service in 2023. Additionally, it was the second most-viewed season finale on Disney+ in the current year, just falling behind The Mandalorian Season 3's final episode.
Despite its intricate timeline shifts and plot complexities, the finale was tightly crafted, keeping viewers engaged throughout. The episode ranked just behind the Season 3 finale of The Mandalorian, concluding in April. Loki's success has played a pivotal role in revitalizing interest in the MCU, providing the studio with a notable small-screen triumph.
What happened in the Loki Season 2 finale?
Throughout the season, Loki maintained a consistent level of popularity, with each episode accumulating over 11 million views during their premiere weeks. The show's performance on Nielsen charts will be an intriguing metric to gauge its impact further.
In the Season 2 finale, Loki recognizes the inadequacy of the Temporal Loom to contain the myriad branches of time safely. In a climactic moment, he employs his powers to revive and unify all the branches at the Citadel at the End of Time.
Additionally, the finale serves as a crucial entry point for the MCU's Multiverse Saga, with various versions of Kang the Conqueror continuing to exist across diverse timelines.
While Loki celebrated triumph on Disney+, the broader MCU experienced a contrasting moment, with The Marvels opening to its lowest box office figures domestically and globally. The film's $46.1 million opening in the United States and $109.4 million worldwide marked a departure from the MCU's usual box office successes.
For now, it is still unclear whether Marvel Studios and Disney will renew Loki for a third season. In the meantime, all episodes from the first two seasons are available for streaming on Disney+.
