Rumors that a second season of Moon Knight might be in development have been doing the rounds for quite a while now, but if there are plans in place to continue the Disney+ series, Marvel Studios has been playing it very close to the chest.
Although the first season certainly left the door open for more, a sophomore run was never guaranteed. Out of all the Marvel Disney+ shows, Loki is the only one to return for a second season, and Moon Knight wasn't an especially big hit for the streaming service.
However, shortly after the first season aired, star Oscar Isaac appeared alongside EP/director Mohammed Diab in a TikTok shared by the latter's niece, who asks if we're going to get a second season of Moon Knight. "Why else would we be in Cairo," Isaac replied.
This was the closest we've come to "official" confirmation that The Fist of Khonshu will be back for more adventures... and it was back in 2022.
Speculation was reignited when it was announced that Moon Knight: The Complete First Season was coming to Blu-ray, and designer Meghan Kasperlik was asked about the possibility of a second season during an interview with Screen Rant.
"No, people have been asking me and maybe that's why, because of The Complete First Season of the Blu-Ray, but no, I've heard nothing. I've heard nothing about it," she responded.
Kasperlik was then asked if there were any particular outfits from the comics she'd like to work on if the show did return.
"I think it all depends on what the story would be. Because so many times when shows say that they're only doing one season or whatnot, then they come back, something about the story changes so much or a new character is incorporated that is not maybe necessarily thought of. Listen, if they do a season 2, I am on board. I loved it so much, but I haven't gotten any phone calls."
The season finale ended with the introduction of another persona, the ruthless Jake Lockley, emerging and joining forces with Khonshu to eliminate Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke). We're not sure where the story could go from there, but there's always a chance Spector might make the jump to the big screen, as there is also talk of the character being part of a Midnight Sons movie.
Moon Knight follows Steven Grant, a mild-mannered gift-shop employee, who becomes plagued with blackouts and memories of another life. Steven discovers he has dissociative identity disorder and shares a body with mercenary Marc Spector.
As Steven/Marc's enemies converge upon them, they must navigate their complex identities while thrust into a deadly mystery among the powerful gods of Egypt.
