Recap of Season 1:

In the first season, a parallel Loki is hauled to the mysterious Time Variance Authority (TVA) after he steals the Tesseract during the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019). The TVA is an extradimensional bureaucratic institution that keeps tabs on the chronology. As a "time variant," Loki is threatened with oblivion unless he chooses between repairing the timeline and preventing an even greater danger. In his own personal criminal drama, Loki pursues a female doppelganger named Sylvie across time and space.
