Netflix had officially confirmed about the Umbrella Academy Season 2 in April 2019. The shooting of the series has already wrapped in Nov 2019 after then the post-production work is in progress remotely.

This series on dysfunctional Hargreeves is on the comic book of Dark Horse titled “Umbrella Academy”. It is penned by Gerard Way and further illustrated by Gabriel Ba. As per this live-action TV show, in October 1989, some unconnected women with no sign of pregnancy inexplicably gave birth to 43 infants.

The novel’s story is just a blueprint by the writers to pen the TV show but has a dramatic change from the comic book. In the Netflix story, seven of them are adopted by The Monocle (Reginald Hargreeves, played by Colm Feore), a billionaire. He is the Umbrella Academy’s creator and gives the task to his children to save the world.

Ritu Arya, as Lila, her sense of humor is twisted, sarcastic, mischievous, and unpredictable. She is a chameleon who can become clinically insane or brilliant as per the situation.

Both Reginald, and the robot mum, i.e., Grace Hargreeves(performed by Jordan Claire Robbins) of the children, might be seen in the next season. Also, chances are Detective Patch (Ashley Madekwe), and deceased Pogo (Adam Godley) will appear either in time travel or in flashback form!

Steve Blackman, who is the executive producer, will be the showrunner for the next season. Overall, the series will be about what happened next with the Umbrella Academy.

Final Thoughts

Three volumes of the book “Umbrella Academy” are written by Ba and Way till now named Hotel Oblivion, Dallas, and Apocalypse Suite. So no doubt after season 2, there will be a higher chance that the TV series makers will present the third season of the series.

More than 45 million user households already streamed season one of The Umbrella Academy. We cannot assume what will happen next since the Netflix adopted story differs from the comic’s source material.
