Following the show's hit first season which took us into the twisty world of the Time Variance Authority, Loki returned last week with its season 2 premiere on Disney+.
In a press release shared by the streamer, it's revealed that the God of Mischief's solo series racked up 10.9 million views globally after three days of streaming on Disney+. It's rare for platforms like this one to share viewership data but it's become increasingly commonplace now unofficial trackers weigh in with figures which often paint shows like this in a poor light (typically by comparing them to other unofficial "ratings").
For those of you wondering, in this instance, a view is defined as total stream time divided by runtime.
The debut of the Marvel Studios series - which returned last Thursday - was behind only the season three premiere of The Mandalorian, which hit Disney+ in March.
"Everybody’s playing at the highest level," Loki executive producer Kevin Wright says. "It’s just exciting to dive deeper into a world that we know people are already excited about."
Since appearing in 2011's Thor, Loki has become one of the most beloved characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He has starred in major blockbusters like 2012's The Avengers, and can even be found this week walking around Avengers Campus at Disney's California Adventure.
"A masterclass in imaginative storytelling, Loki season 2 is the MCU at its best," we said in our review of the first four episodes, "and a riveting new chapter in the Multiverse Saga that’s mind-bending, monumental, and utterly marvellous. And as a bonus, Ke Huy Quan is a scene-stealing delight!"

Loki season 2 will pick up in the aftermath of the shocking season finale when Loki finds himself 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 series stars Tom Hiddleston, Sophia Di Martino, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wunmi Mosaku, Eugene Cordero, Rafael Casal, Tara Strong, Kate Dickie, Liz Carr, Neil Ellice, with Jonathan Majors, Ke Huy Quan and Owen Wilson.
Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead, Dan Deleeuw and Kasra Farahani direct episodes. The Head Writer is Eric Martin.
