Tom Hiddleston slips through time in Loki season 2 trailer

Add as a preferred source on Google

Tom Hiddleston is being pulled through time in the season 2 trailer for Marvel Studios’ Loki, and if what he witnessed was true, “There is nothing that stands between this world and utter destruction.”

Hiddleston returns for season 2 as Loki, the god of mischief recruited to work for the Time Variance Authority (TVA) to monitor and fix the timeline. In the season 1 finale, the timeline was thrown into complete disarray after Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) stabs He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors), leading to the creation of the multiverse.

In season 2, Loki finds himself in an alternate timeline where he can timeslip between the past and the present. In the trailer’s opening sequence, Loki and Mobius M. Mobius (Owen Wilson) seek help from OB (Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan), a TVA archivist, to explain Loki’s time-slipping. The chaotic trailer then follows Loki and Mobius traveling through different points in time in an attempt to restore the timeline. However, Loki must make difficult choices to fix the new reality because “the timeline is running out.”

New cast members joining season 2 include Quan, Kate Dickie, Liz Carr, and Rafael Casal.

The tech giant earned 12 nods for Schmigadoon!, a stage adaptation of its original Apple TV musical series. With wins already under its belt for television and film, all eyes are now on the June 7 ceremony to see if Apple can complete the prestigious sweep.

5 great Netflix shows to watch on New Year’s Day and beyond
The cast of XO Kitty.

New Year’s Day is one of the easiest days to end up scrolling Netflix without actually committing to anything. The problem isn’t a lack of options, but choosing something that fits how you’re likely to watch, which usually means a show that starts quickly or keeps a steady rhythm without demanding too much attention.

Whether you’re recovering from a late night or just easing into a slower start to the year, the right show can do most of the work for you. This list narrows it down to five that are particularly effective right now, not just because they’re popular, but because they’re built for this kind of viewing. Some are structured for fast, high-retention binges, others are easier to sit with, and a couple justify a more focused watch if you’re in the mood to engage. Each one fits the kind of momentum that makes getting through a full season or a limited series feel natural, whether it’s today or any other day you want something that holds up without effort.
