Disney+'s Moon Knight is the next highly anticipated addition to the MCU. Here is what you need to know about the number of episodes and the finale.

When is the finale of Moon Knight, and how many episodes will the series have? Oscar Isaac is set to make his MCU debut as Moon Knight on Wednesday, March 30th in the premiere of the long-awaited Disney+ show. Moon Knight is known for being one of the darker characters in Marvel's pantheon, which should give his series a unique tone that will be quite different from the conventional MCU atmosphere.

In the comics upon which the show is based, a mercenary named Marc Spector becomes Moon Knight after the Egyptian god of the moon, Khonshu, saves him from the brink of death. In exchange for his life, Marc must act as Khonshu's earthly champion, protecting travelers of the night. Marc also struggles with his Dissociative Identity Disorder, which causes him to have multiple personalities that include the wealthy Steven Grant and the cab driver Jake Lockley.

Moon Knight will have six episodes in total, just like the previous Disney+ MCU series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, and Loki. The series is directed by Mohamed Diab and helmed by Jeremy Slater. Each episode will be roughly 50 minutes long, with new content releasing on a weekly basis for the duration of the show's run.

Assuming that there are no interruptions or alterations to the weekly release format, Moon Knight's finale will be made available for viewers on Wednesday, May 4. Moon Knight is expected to be a limited series, serving as an introduction to the character before he is hopefully seen interacting with the larger MCU. In addition to Oscar Isaac, the Moon Knight cast includes Ethan Hawke, who will be playing Arthur Harrow, the show's mysterious villain.

Moon Knight is the first MCU project to be released in 2022, though there are many more to come. The series finale will be swiftly followed by the high-profile premiere of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on May 6. The next new Marvel show coming to Disney+ after Moon Knight will be Ms. Marvel, which will begin airing episodes on June 8.
