From Friday 6 October, Disney+ (released weekly)

After reluctantly agreeing to join them, Loki discovered that the rogue variant of himself he was assigned to pursue was a female iteration named Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), who was hell-bent on destroying the TVA.

At the end of season one, Sylvie killed He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors), the creator of the Time Variance Authority, unleashing a new multiverse in the process – and when Loki returned to the TVA, nobody recognised him…
