The first trailer for The Umbrella Academy Season 2 has been released.
The trailer (below) marks our first proper look at the plot of the second season, after Season 1 ended radically differently to its source comic.
They have to stop the apocalypse — again.

The trailer comes alongside a new synopsis for Season 2 (spoilers for The Umbrella Academy Season 1 follow):
“Five warned his family (so, so many times) that using his powers to escape from Vanya’s 2019 apocalypse was risky. Well, he was right – the time jump scatters the siblings in time in and around Dallas, Texas. Over a three year period. Starting in 1960. Some, having been stuck in the past for years, have built lives and moved on, certain they’re the only ones who survived. Five is the last to land, smack dab in the middle of a nuclear doomsday, which – spoiler alert! – turns out is a result of the group’s disruption of the timeline (déjà vu, anyone?). Now the Umbrella Academy must find a way to reunite, figure out what caused doomsday, put a stop to it, and return to the present timeline to stop that other apocalypse. All while being hunted by a trio of ruthless Swedish assassins. But seriously, no pressure or anything.”
The soundtrack is backed by a brand new song from Umbrella Academy co-creator and My Chemical Romance frontman, Gerard Way. Titled ‘Here Comes The End’, Way said: “I was originally inspired to write this track when series one of The Umbrella Academy was being shot; by the time I finished it 2020 was in full swing, the world had taken a profound turn and the song was finished in a surreal new reality.”
Season 2 will premiere on Netflix on July 31. We’ve already seen a set of character posters and first-look images. Here’s everything we know about Season 2 ahead of its release.
