Warning: the following piece contains spoilers about the season one finale of Disney+/Marvel’s Moon Knight
As Disney+/Marvel series wrap their first seasons, typically there’s some form of news of either a spin-off series or season 2 being firmed up, i.e. Loki made it known immediately we’d be getting as season 2 in its final episode, and it was announced shortly after WandaVision ended that Agatha would be the follow-up.

It’s Jake who wheels cult leader and former Ammit avatar Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) out of an asylum and shoots him in the in the head.
Deadline asked the series episode director and EP Mohamed Diab whether he’s expected to be back for more work on season 2.
“We don’t know if there’s a next season,” Diab told Deadline today.
“Marvel doesn’t go with a conventional way, so even if they like the character and want to extend the world, it could be season 2, it could be a standalone film, or he can join another superhero’s journey,” added the EP and director of the season one finale.
“I’m kept in the dark, just like the fans,” Diab added.
“We never discussed it being a season 2, but one day there’s going to be an expansion, but I don’t know how it’s going to look like.”
Moon Knight EP Grant Curtis echoed Diab on season 2.
“Where Moon Knight lands in MCU after this, I actually don’t know. As a fan, I want to know, because Oscar created such an engaging, emotional performance that people want to see more of the Steven-Marc-Jake story.”
