Marvel Studios’ breakout TV hit Loki remains one of the most popular shows on streaming services a week after its season finale.
FlixPatrol reports that Marvel’s Loki has entered its sixth week as Disney Plus’ most popular show worldwide. Loki aired on June 9 and took the top spot on the platform the following day. With 44 days and counting, the show continues to top FlixPatrol’s charts for Disney Plus TV shows.
The news comes over a week after Loki’s season finale aired on July 14, followed by an announcement of a second season.
Loki stars Tom Hiddleston and Sophia Di Martino as the eponymous villain-turned-anti-hero. Throughout the first season, the Loki’s work with and against Agent Mobius (played by Owen Wilson) of the Time Variance Authority to break free of the orderly timeline that has condemned them to temporal exile. The show stands out among the rest of the MCU as a quieter comic-book noir defined by retro aesthetics rather than action set pieces.
