The first MCU series to be announced for Disney Plus was Loki's, which will see Tom Hiddleston return as the God of Mischief.

The question of how that would happen has been raised a few times, since he died in Infinity War, and he doesn't get brought back from the dead in Endgame. But he is alive, sort of.

While there are other ways of doing a Loki series, such as a prequel, Endgame sees him take the Tesseract and disappear, and this means he exists in a new branch timeline, since that Infinity Stone wasn't replaced. That means the Disney+ show could focus on a more 'evil' version of Loki, who has the Space Stone, should it choose to.
