Tom Hiddleston’s Acclaimed Solo Series Sneaks Back into Disney+’s Top 10 as Marvel Fans Prep for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’
Streaming charts have a funny way of resurrecting shows that fans thought were long finished, and this week that honor belongs to one of Marvel’s most beloved detours from the main timeline. ‘Loki’ wrapped its story back in 2023, closing the book on Tom Hiddleston’s trickster god turned reluctant hero of the multiverse. Yet the series never quite left the cultural conversation, especially with a certain looming crossover event on the horizon.
That’s because ‘Loki’ has quietly climbed back into Disney+’s Top 10 TV Shows list, landing at the number 9 spot after 19 days on the chart, according to the streaming ranking data shared this week. The show’s return comes with a steady, unassuming “–” trend marker, meaning it’s holding its ground rather than skyrocketing, but for a two-season series with no new episodes in nearly three years, simply staying in the conversation is its own kind of win.
The timing is not a coincidence. A new ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ trailer dropped recently, offering the first extended look at Robert Downey Jr.’s take on Doctor Doom, and the footage featured familiar faces including Loki himself alongside Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers. Following that trailer’s release, fans clearly went digging back into the archives, sending Loki climbing the charts in multiple countries almost overnight.
At various points over the past month, ‘Loki’ has ranked as high as fourth on Disney+’s global charts, trending in dozens of countries even without a single new episode airing. In some international markets, the show has even reached the number 2 spot worldwide, drawing comparisons to another beloved time-travel property thanks to its multiversal, “timey-wimey” storytelling.
The renewed interest also lines up with the theatrical run of ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’, which closed out the Multiverse Saga just before ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ arrives in theaters this December. Audiences appear to be treating ‘Loki’ as required pre-viewing, and it’s easy to see why. The series was one of the best-reviewed post-‘Avengers: Endgame’ MCU projects, and its ending planted major seeds for the multiversal chaos Doctor Doom is expected to unleash.
Hiddleston himself has weighed in on why fans should revisit the show before Doomsday hits screens. Speaking with TechRadar, the actor said, “So, yeah, I would always say, if you haven’t watched it, go and do so. And, if you haven’t watched it before Doomsday, go and watch it again.”
For newcomers or those needing a refresher, the premise remains one of the MCU’s most inventive. ‘Loki’ follows the 2012 variant of the God of Mischief, who escapes with the Tesseract during the events of ‘Avengers: Endgame’ and is swiftly apprehended by the Time Variance Authority. Rather than being erased for the crime of existing outside the Sacred Timeline, he’s recruited to help hunt down a far more dangerous variant of himself, a chase that eventually introduces Sylvie, Mobius, and a sprawling cast of TVA agents across two acclaimed seasons.
The show currently sits comfortably on Disney+’s domestic Top 10 alongside other titles jockeying for attention this week, including ‘X-Men ’97’, ‘Bluey Tunes’, and National Geographic’s ‘Lion’. But unlike most of its chart neighbors, ‘Loki’ isn’t riding a new release or a fresh season, just years-old episodes suddenly relevant again. With Marvel Studios has confirmed no current plans for a third season, this streaming bump looks less like a revival push and more like organic fan behavior: watch first, theorize later, and be ready when Doctor Doom finally makes his move in December.
