Neither Marvel Studios nor Disney+ gave any official announcement. However, a mid-credit scene in the show's last episode declared Loki was coming back. This makes Loki the first Marvel series to get a confirmed renewal. Interestingly, the multiverse link shown here will easily connect future Marvel films like Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Man: Far From Home. But, let's see how.
Coming to Spider-Man's third stand-alone movie in the MCU, reports had been abuzz that we'd see former Spider-Men Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire, alongside Tom Holland. While Garfield clarified he wasn't coming, the casting of Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) hints at the amalgamation/clash of multiverses. Also, the title of Strange's second movie literally has the word "Multiverse" in it. Plus, there's the Wanda factor.
Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen), who last appeared in the now Emmy-nominated series WandaVision is a nexus being, which means she can transcend the multiverse. She is set to appear in Dr. Strange's next movie. In fact, Hiddleston as Loki is also rumored to feature there.
No matter what the future holds, netizens are beyond elated in the present. Given the love Owen Wilson's character has for jet skis in the series, one user demanded he gets to ride one in season two. Another user noted it all began because Hulk hated the stairs (Avengers: Endgame reference). Some also lamented the long wait before the next season arrives.

To give a recap of Loki season one finale, we finally meet Kang the Conqueror, MCU's upcoming mega-villain, as the one controlling the Sacred Timeline. He warns Loki and Sylvie that killing him would break the unitary flow of the timeline and unleash multiversal wars. But Sylvie, too hung up on revenge, kills him anyway, sparking the creation of countless parallel realities.
