Remember that scene in Avengers: Endgame where the Avengers went back in time to the first Avengers film to steal the Tesseract from the Avengers of that time to bring it back to their present so they could defeat Thanos, but things went wrong and Loki ended up stealing the Tesseract and escaping through a portal?

Well, Loki, the series, starts from that exact moment, with Tom Hiddleston’s God Of Mischief escaping and almost right away, being arrested by the Time Variance Authority (TVA), whose jobs are to police time and reality so there are no "branches" off the core "Sacred Timeline" that has been set by a trio of omnipotent beings called the Timekeepers.
