Marvel Studios reveals release dates of 'Loki' season two, new series 'Echo'

Los Angeles: Marvel Studios has announced the release date of Tom Hiddleston's "Loki" season two as well as new series "Echo".

According to entertainment news outlet Deadline, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige announced the release dates of the two shows during Disney’s Upfront presentation on Tuesday.

The second season of "Loki", in which Hiddleston reprised his Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) character of Loki aka God of Mischief, will debut on streaming service Disney+ October 6. New episodes will air weekly.

The series is set in a MCU-adjacent world, in which the God of Mischief is a fish-out-of-water when he lands in trouble with the bureaucratic TVA (Time Variance Authority) after absconding with the Tesseract.

It also features Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophia Di Martino, Wunmi Mosaku and Richard E Grant. Eric Martin returns to write all of the episodes for season two, with Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead taking on directing duties for the show.

"Echo", a spin-off show to Jeremy Renner's "Hawkeye" series, will premiere on Disney+ on November 29. All the episodes of the series will release on streamer simultaneously, making it the first MCU show to premiere under a binge model.

The series will focus on the deaf superhero character of Echo, who will be introduced in "Hawkeye".

Played by Alaqua Cox, Echo aka Maya Lopez is a hearing-impaired Native American woman with the ability to perfectly replicate another person's fighting style.

The show will also star Zahn McClarnon, Graham Greene, Chaske Spencer, Tantoo Cardinal, Devery Jacobs and Cody Lightning with Vincent D’Onofrio returning as Wilson Fisk and Charlie Cox as Daredevil.
