Page 5 of the magazine incorrectly identifies Kate Herron as the director and executive producer of the entirety of the TV series Loki. In fact, she was not involved with the second season, which had already filmed in the middle of 2022, and aired its season finale worldwide the same day or the day after this issue came out, depending on time zones.
