The Umbrella Academy Season 2 Sets Premiere Date in New Video

Netflix has announced the official premiere date for the upcoming second season of Gerard Way’s hit superhero series The Umbrella Academy which will see the return of the Hargreeves siblings following the first season finale’s time-travel cliffhanger. Season 2 is scheduled to make its debut on Friday, July 3. The announcement also came with the release of a new promo video which you can check out below, featuring the main cast as they recreate their “I Think We’re Alone Now” dance sequence from the first season.

In season one, on the same day in 1989, forty-three infants are inexplicably born to random, unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Seven are adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves, a billionaire industrialist, who creates The Umbrella Academy and prepares his “children” to save the world. But not everything went according to plan. In their teenage years, the family fractured and the team disbanded. Now, the six surviving thirty-something members reunite upon the news of Hargreeves’ passing. Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Vanya, and Number Five work together to solve a mystery surrounding their father’s death. But the estranged family once again begins to come apart due to their divergent personalities and abilities, not to mention the imminent threat of a global apocalypse.
