Marvel’s Moon Knight Season 1, starring Oscar Isaac, came out on March 30, 2022, and was a big hit. It originally seemed like a one-season series. But, now it looks like Moon Knight Season 2 is in the works. Why do I say this? The trailer for the last episode of Moon Knight originally said “series finale”. But, it was changed to “season finale.”
Does this suggest a Moon Knight Season 2 is happening? When can we expect it, and has filming begun? These questions are on everyone’s minds, including yours. In this article, we’ll explore what we know about Moon Knight Season 2. And, further keep you informed about any new developments.
Is Season 2 Happening?
In a recent update, Jeremy Slater, the head writer of Moon Knight, has exited the project, casting some doubt on the possibility of a Season 2. Yet, given the show’s significant cliffhanger ending, a second season could still be in the works, though perhaps not as soon as anticipated.
During an interview with The Playlist, Jeremy Slater, the head writer of Moon Knight, mentioned that he’s unsure about the possibility of Moon Knight Season 2, saying, “I honestly have no idea”. He also noted that he hasn’t had discussions with Marvel, and decisions like these would likely be made by Kevin Feige, who holds the master plan for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
While the writer expressed uncertainty about Moon Knight Season 2, Oscar Isaac hinted at its possibility. In a video from September 2022, Oscar Isaac and Director Mohamed Diab teased the potential for a second season.
Moon Knight Season 2 Release Date

At present, there is no information on when Moon Knight Season 2 will start production or be released. It’s likely that we won’t have any updates for a couple of years. This is due to Marvel Studios having a busy schedule with numerous upcoming Marvel movies, TV series, and other projects already in the pipeline.
Marvel’s packed schedule with upcoming releases like Loki Season 2 (2023), Echo (2023), Daredevil: Born Again (2024), Agatha: Cavern of Chaos, and Ironheart. It’s possible that Moon Knight Season 2 could be expected around late 2024 or early 2025.
An unverified leak on Reddit, which has since been removed, suggested that Moon Knight Season 2 might be released on Disney Plus just before Avengers 5. It was delayed to May 1, 2026.
Furthermore, in the latest series, Loki Season 2, there is a connection to Moon Knight with Casey, the TVA agent, listening to the same podcast, “The Staying Awake,” that Steven Grant listens to in Moon Knight episode 1. Taking these factors into account, it’s possible that Moon Knight Season 2 may not arrive until as late as 2026.
Moon Knight Season 2 Cast & Character
While the release date of Moon Knight Season 2 remains uncertain, we can speculate about the cast. Oscar Isaac is expected to return as Moon Knight, playing the roles of Mark Spector, Steven Grant, and Jake Lockley. This all officially introduced in the mid-credits scene of the final episode.
Ethan Hawke could potentially return as Arthur Harrow in the next season of Moon Knight, as his character’s fate was left somewhat uncertain after being shot by Jake Lockley.
There’s a possibility he may still be alive. Additionally, May Calamawy is likely to make a return as Layla El-Faouly, now taking on the role of Scarlet Scarab, the avatar of the Hippo goddess Tweret.
F. Murray Abraham, the voice of Konshu, the moon God, is uncertain about returning. It’s due to allegations of sexual misconduct on the sets of Mythic Quest. This led to his removal from the cast of the comedy show. His involvement in Moon Knight Season 2 remains in doubt.

Since there is limited information available about the release of Moon Knight Season 2, there is no official trailer at this time. However, if we consider the MCU’s current timeline, it’s possible that a Season 2 trailer could be expected by late 2024 or early 2025.
Plot and Villain
With the significant reveal at the end of Moon Knight Season 1, there are high expectations for Season 2. The introduction of Jake Lockley as the third alter ego of Marc Spector opens the door for exploring his homicidal tendencies in the new season. Additionally, the presence of the crocodile Goddess Ammit, still inside Arthur Harrow, suggests the potential for a second showdown between Mark and Ammit in the upcoming season.
Director Mohamed Diab’s uncertainty about Harrow’s fate leaves the door open for a potential return in the future. While there are many assumptions about the future of Moon Knight, the details remain limited for now.
