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.
