After five months, the still-untitled Loki series that will premiere on Disney+ finally has a show runner.

In a story out today, The Hollywood Reporter says that former HarmonQuest writer (and Community alum) Michael Waldron will get the gig.

According to the THR story, the show will see Loki travelling through time, influencing historic events. Tom Hiddleston will reprise his role as the Asgardian god of mischief.

Waldron is expected to write the pilot and act as creator and executive producer of the program that will be one of the Disney streaming channel’s first Marvel shows.

Rumours floating around about the Loki show for Disney+

How will a dead Loki be brought back for his own TV show?

According to Charles Murphy of The Hashtag Show, there are rumours floating around about the new Loki TV miniseries for Disney+.

Murphy says the show could take the form of a flashback anthology series, with Tom Hiddleston as Loki narrating adventures from his past life.

Of course, Murphy puts several caveats with this, repeating that this is just a rumour, and that he’s subject to error. He had previously tweeted that he would post it as a rumor if he could not get it confirmed — which is how he posted.

Of course, this could open up some great possibilities. Some episodes could feature a young Loki, some a Tom Hiddleston Loki, or a Lady Loki as well – all told with Hiddleston’s characteristic Loki sneer and sarcasm. And considering the character’s storytelling abilities (last seen in Thor: Ragnarok’s ‘The Tragedy of Loki of Asgard’) there’s a possibility that this could be a really funny alternative Asgard, or perhaps something along the lines of Arrested Development.

Dare we hope for appearances by Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo or Jeff Goldblum? Perhaps another Sam Neill cameo?

But of course, it’s all just a rumour for now. Stay tuned.
