After stealing the Tesseract and escaping, Loki is caught by the TVA or better known as the Time Variance Authority for his crime of interfering with the timeline. As the series progresses, Loki becomes part of the investigation to catch another Loki variant that is causing trouble. This leads Loki and this new variant to discover who is behind the TVA and who is really in control of the timeline.
