If you’re a fan of The Umbrella Academy, the unique superhero story based on the comic book series by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá, you may be wondering if there will be a season 2 on Netflix. The good news is that it is likely there will be, and here’s why.
What is The Umbrella Academy?
The Umbrella Academy follows a group of seven superheroes, each born with unique abilities, who are adopted by a wealthy industrialist and trained to save the world. The series takes place years later when they’ve gone their separate ways but must come together to prevent an apocalypse.
Why is it likely there will be a Season 2?
Firstly, the source material provides a path for at least two more seasons, and the first season left plenty of unresolved issues. Secondly, Netflix knows that superhero and comic book adaptations are successful, and with Marvel’s departure, they need to fill that void. Finally, The Umbrella Academy’s character-driven storytelling and focus on family and dysfunction should translate well to global audiences, making it a strong candidate for further seasons.
What can we expect in Season 2?
As with any upcoming season, it’s hard to predict what will happen, but with the use of time travel a central theme in the first season, there are plenty of possibilities. The story’s unresolved issues, such as the twists in the finale, provide plenty of material to continue the narrative. There may be new villains introduced, and the characters may face new challenges, but we will have to wait and see.
