Moon Knight Season 2 Reportedly in Development
The sixth television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to feature the same-named superhero is the miniseries Moon Knight, which was created by Jeremy Slater and stars Oscar Isaac, Ethan Hawke, May Calamawy, and others. The program tells the tale of Steven Grant and Marc Spector, two alters of a guy who has dissociative identity disorder and is intrigued by the mystery surrounding the Egyptian gods.
The six-episode Phase Four of the MCU show had a successful premiere in March 2022 and garnered favorable reviews from both the public and the reviewers, who paid particular attention to and appreciated the performances of the leads. There has finally been an update on season two of the show, which fans have been eagerly anticipating.
Is Moon Knight Season Two starring Oscar Isaac in the works?
According to one account on X; Marvel Updates, season two of Moon Knight starring actor Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector and Steven Grant is in the works and will be released before Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. At the same time, the director, Mohamed Diab has also addressed the rumors about the development of season two of the show.
During an interview with Arabic Marvel, Mohamed Diab, who is also the first Arab director in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, addressed season two updates on Moon Knight as he said that Loki, starring Tom Hiddleston, was the only show in the MCU that was made with an idea of having a second season. He said,
“Marvel had determined it from the first day. Marvel’s series projects are all six episodes except for special projects like ‘WandaVision.’ The usual format is six episodes. ‘Loki’ is the only series they said will be in two parts from the first day. Marvel’s way is not the usual way, so if the project succeeds, I say let’s renew it for a second season. It’s their plan, successful or not, they have a plan.”
The critically acclaimed show is one of the most highly awaited shows amongst the fans, especially since season one ended with a massive cliffhanger. There hasn’t been an official announcement by Marvel Studios about the second season of the show, but if rumors are to be believed, it’s in the process.

Moon Knight director says Oscar Isaac was very proud of his work on the show
During the interview, the director was asked about the actor Oscar Isaac devoting himself to the role in which he decided to do two different accents for the audience to know which personality they were looking at. The director said,
“The first time he spoke to me, he said to me, ‘I don’t want to do any Superhero films. I’m bored and I’ve done them a lot.’ But he saw my films and said to me, ‘Mohamed, your films are great. Why are you doing that? Why did he come here?’ We sat discussing and I tried to convince him that we were doing something deeper, not just Superhero. Thank God, when we finished and he told me that this is the project he is most proud of in my life, so I felt that it did not disappoint me, thank God, and I did what he dreamed of.”
He once again dapped into answering the question about Marvel Studios being known for complete secrecy during the production part of any project, about which he said,
“I don’t know what will happen in Moon Night after the series. I want to tell you that 95% of the actors only know how to watch it. They don’t even know what this series Moon Night was about. You have security guards sitting around all day, and my computer has a device that plays audio every time I’m at home.” “I was not allowed to print the script until a week before filming. The subject is terribly secret.”
Oscar Isaac had also noted in 2022 that conversations were happening with the studios about the possibility of season two, but nothing could have been said for certain but he hoped that the show was renewed for season two.

Moon Knight director on saying he has plans for Marc Spector’s alter Jake Lockley
Back in 2022, the director spoke to CBR about Marc Spector and Jake Lockley and said,
“I want to see [Jake Lockley’s] world. Everyone is so intrigued about him and [I want to] see what happens in between those blinks and who he is and what he loves and who he loves. It’s very interesting for me.”
Mohamed Diab also touched upon the fact that the show’s setting, which was mostly Arab, was a success, adding that to the Arab Marvel interview;
“ Firstly, I have confidence in the success of the series around the world, but I did not imagine that the Arab world would appreciate it like this. Of course, I would love very much to show our culture, and it is not easy that if you spin something from our culture, the West will like it and I want a taste.”
Lastly, he said, he would have liked it very much if they created a Hulk character who also has two personalities, like Moon Knight, so they could be best friends and a mess together. He would also like his Moon Knight character to join the Avengers world.
Moon Knight season one is streaming on Disney+.
