The Umbrella Academy Season 2 will premiere globally on Netflix on July 31, 2020.
Announced by Netflix, we got a brief teaser featuring the cast filming themselves from isolation, and recreating the dance scene from Season 1 of the show:

An adaptation of Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá’s comic book series ofthe same name, The Umbrella Academy follows the lives of a dysfunctional family of superheroes. It proved a huge hit for Netflix, which reported that 45 million households had watched the show, and quickly ordered a second season.
We awarded the first season an 8.5 review, calling it “hilariously twisted, subversively stylish, and surprisingly poignant”. We named it as one of the best new TV series of 2019, and one of the best comic book series – it was named the IGN’s People’s Choice in both categories.
We’ve seen very little of the second season so far, but we did get a peek at some stylish character posters:

If you’ve never watched The Umbrella Academy, we’ve got an explainer for you. If you have, you might need a refresher on the last series’ huge ending, and we’ve got that too.
