The possibility of "Moon Knight" season 2 gets addressed by the Marvel Cinematic Universe TV showrunner.
Developed for the MCU by Jeremy Slater, "Moon Knight" stars Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector/Moon Knight and Steven Grant/Mr.
Knight, two alters of a man with dissociative identity disorder, they are drawn into a mystery involving Egyptian gods.
May Calamaway, F. Murray Abraham, and Ethan Hawke round out the ensemble of the show’s first season, which ended with the cliffhanger introduction of a third alter, Jack Lockey.
Despite Moon Knight Season 1 ending with a cliffhanger mid-credits scene, Marvel Studios and Disney+ have not yet ordered a follow-up season.
In a new interview with ComicBook, Slater was asked what needs to happen for season 2 to become a reality on Disney+.
The showrunner made it clear that, as much as he hopes to see Isaac back as the titular hero, two people can make Moon Knight season 2 happen: "Talk to Kevin Feige, Talk to Oscar Isaac. I think the ball’s really in their court. It’s as much or as little Moon Knight as Oscar wants to do. Kevin’s the guy with the master plan, and I think when he comes up with a way to really incorporate Moon Knight into there … It’s my hope that we’re gonna see him again, but I’m as curious as the rest of you guys.
"Moon Knight" season 1 was made prior to the restructuring with Marvel Television after the creative overhaul on "Daredevil: Born Again", and Marvel Studios is now focused on making more traditional TV shows that run for multiple seasons.
Given how the Moon Knight finale ended, there are seeds planted that could lead into season 2 and beyond.
However, based on Slater's comments, it will all be up to Kevin Feige and Isaac in the long run, and they may simply be trying to look at how they could extend Moon Knight for several seasons beyond season 2.
What may be holding up Moon Knight season 2 right now is the fact that Marvel Studios is trying to finish The Multiverse Saga, as Phase 6 has only a handful of movies and TV shows lined up for the final chapter.
The idea may be to do more with Moon Knight in Phase 7, especially if Feige and Isaac find more organic ways for season 2 to work in terms of stories.
Given how much there is to explore with Moon Knight, the journey is most likely not over for him yet.
Whether or not that will be in the form of the Moon Knight TV show going forward with more seasons or having Isaac appear in other projects where they can continue to explore Marc, Steven, and Jake Lockley in the MCU, alongside other Marvel players, remains to be seen.
