Season 2 of The Umbrella Academy is almost here, and it looks like it’s going to be a wild ride. We’d expect nothing less from this dark superhero comedy whose first season left off on a major cliffhanger. So what’s in store for Season 2? Here’s everything you need to know. 

The Umbrella Academy Season 2 Release Date

Season 2 comes to Netflix on July 31. Just enough time to binge Season 1 again!

The Umbrella Academy Season 2 Cast

Most of the original cast will return, including, of course, Ellen Page and Aidan Gallagher. That said, it looks like fans will have to do without Cameron Britton and Mary J. Blige. New faces include Ritu Arya, Marin Ireland, and Yusuf Gatewood. 

The Umbrella Academy Season 2 Plot

The series will pick up with the Hargreeves siblings in Dallas in the 1960s. This time, they’ll be facing a nuclear threat—no big deal, except that the family has been dispersed across time, so Number Five will have to reunite them if there’s any hope of survival.
