On Screen

!e Greeneville Sun, Greeneville, TN September 30 - October 6, 2023 — 3 By Sarah Passingham We've all done the time warp and explored the multiverse, but it's high time to sort out the timeline. A brand-new season of "Loki" pre- mieres Friday, Oct. 6, on Disney+. Tom Hiddleston ("The Essex Serpent") returns as the God of Mischief, everyone's favorite trouble- maker, Loki, who has developed a mysterious problem this season. Owen Wilson ("Haunted Man- sion," 2023) is back as Mobius M. Mobius, the Time Variance Authority agent tasked with helping Loki right his wrongs across the multiverse. The first season of "Loki" saw the Norse God meet his match in an alternate version of himself. Sophia Di Mar- tino ("The Electrical Life of Louis Wain," 2021) is Sylvie, a variant of Loki who interrupts the Sacred Timeline. After coming together to set things right across space and time, Loki returned to what he thought would be the TVA headquarters he left before his mission, but some- thing still wasn't right. In the official trailer for the up- coming season, Mobius brings Loki to a repair shop of sorts, manned by TVA repair guy OB, portrayed by Ke Huy Quan ("American Born Chinese"). Before the pair have time to explain what's brought them there, Loki suddenly, uncontrollably disap- pears in a timeslip, leaving Mobius looking to OB for an answer. "It's impossible to timeslip in the TVA," is all he can say, though they just watched it happen. "Loki" executive producer Kevin Wright told Entertainment Weekly in September that "[OB's] job is basically every piece of tech, every computer, every thing that is running at the TVA. ... He either designed it or he fixes it and keeps it running." Having recently picked up an Acade- my Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2022's "Everything Everywhere All At Once," Quan is well suited to help repair another multiverse. While Quan's character is the latest to join Loki's crew as he chases chaos across the multiverse, several cast members return for the new season, including Gugu Mbatha-Raw ("Surface") as Ravonna Renslayer, an ambitious judge in the TVA who oversees Loki's case. Literally backing up Loki at one point in the season's trailer alongside Mobius, Sylvie and OB is Wunmi Mosaku ("We Own This City") as Hunter B-15. Eugene Cordero ("Star Trek: Lower Decks") returns as Hunter K-5E, former TVA receptionist. The upcoming seasons also star Neil Ellice ("Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn") as Hunter D-90, Jonathan Majors ("Creed III," 2023) as He Who Remains and Tara Strong ("Teen Titans Go!") as the voice of Miss Minutes. Rafael Casal ("Blindspotting"), Kate Dickie ("Annika") and Liz Carr ("Silent Witness") all join the cast this season in as-yet-unnamed roles. Odd couple Mobius and Loki unsurprisingly have different approaches to their world-saving mission spanning space and time. While the former admits in the "Loki" teaser trailer that he pre- fers his "slow, deliberate, cerebral approach" honed by years in the bureaucracy of the TVA, while the Norse god is "a man of action, which is fine." Unconvincing, given Loki is the source of the destruction that they are trying to stave off. While Disney has remained characteristically tight-lipped about the new season of "Loki" ahead of its premiere, Mbatha-Raw prom- ised in a December 2022 interview with Entertainment Tonight that fans "are gonna be in for a real treat because the show is bolder and more surreal." She added that the upcoming season "goes to some bigger, bolder places than Season 1, which is really exciting." 6 p.m. (NFLNET) NFL Fantasy Live (Live) 7 p.m. (NFLNET) NFL Total Access (Live) WEDNESDAY 1 p.m. (NFLNET) NFL Now (Live) 2 p.m. (ESPN2) College Football Live (Live) (NFLNET) NFL Now (Live) 4 p.m. (ESPN2) NFL Live (Live) 6 p.m. (NFLNET) NFL Fantasy Live (Live) 7 p.m. (NFLNET) NFL Total Access (Live) THURSDAY 1 p.m. (NFLNET) NFL Now (Live) 2 p.m. (ESPN2) College Football Live (Live) (NFLNET) NFL Now (Live) 4 p.m. (ESPN2) NFL Live (Live) 5 p.m. (NFLNET) NFL Fantasy Live (Live) 6 p.m. (NFLNET) NFL GameDay Kickoff (Live) 11:15 p.m. (NFLNET) NFL GameDay Final (Live) FRIDAY 1 p.m. (NFLNET) NFL Now (Live) 2 p.m. (NFLNET) NFL Now (Live) 4 p.m. (ESPN) NFL Live (Live) 6 p.m. (NFLNET) NFL Fantasy Live (Live) 7 p.m. (ESPN) College Football Countdown (Live) (NFLNET) NFL Total Access (Live) 7:30 p.m. (ESPN) College Football Kansas State at Oklahoma State.
