It is the sixth television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) to be produced by Marvel Studios, sharing continuity with the films of the franchise.

• The series consists of six 40–50 minute episodes with a budget of $147.9 million.
• Feige mentioned that Moon Knight was developed with the potential for future seasons, though it was later referred to as a limited series.
• The show draws inspiration from Indiana Jones, The Mummy, and horror elements, aiming for a darker tone within the MCU.

Moon Knight Casting
