Contains spoilers for 'Moon Knight'

'Moon Knight' doesn't necessarily end on a cliffhanger. There is closure, but for Marvel and the show's ardents in particular, the show needs to have a season 2, which has not been confirmed by Marvel Studios just yet. Word was that the studios changed the promotion of the finale on Twitter to season finale as opposed to "series" and that had fans speculating about a potential new season.

The finale ended with the death of Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke), the introduction of Jake Lockley (played by Oscar Isaac), and the transformation of Layla (May Calamawy) as the avatar of Tawaret. The high-octane episode had enough punch in it for fans to demand a new installment. While much about season 2 is up in the air, here's what we know and speculate so far.

When does 'Moon Knight' Season 2 release?

There is no official confirmation from Marvel Studios about a season 2 of 'Moon Knight'. Assuming there is good news around the corner, expect the sequel to arrive only sometime in 2023.

What will 'Moon Knight' Season 2 be about?

The most logical speculation would be the origin and adventure of Jake Lockley, Marc Spector's third and violent avatar. The series could also perhaps explore more of May Calamawy's Layla and how she uses the powers of Tawaret. The biggest question though is to see how it connects to the MCU. 'WandaVision' was connected to 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness', while 'Black Widow' was connected to 'Hawkeye'. One of the easter eggs on the show was about a probable connection to 'Eternals' and Kit Harrington's Black Knight. Only time will tell if these will ever be explored.

Who will be in 'Moon Knight' Season 2?

Expect Oscar Isaac and May Calamawy to reprise their roles in the series. With Ethan Hawke's Arthur Harrow dead, there surely will be a new villain in the offing.

Showrunner/Director

Jeremy Slater will almost certainly return as the creator and executive producer along with Isaac. We expect the following EPs — Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Brad Winderbaum, Grant Curtis, and Mohamed Diab to return as well.
