FIRST LOOK: New Images from Season 2 of The Umbrella Academy

Irish actor Robert Sheehan returns this July in Season 2 of the Netflix original series.

You may have loved him as Darren in Love/Hate but Robert Sheehan plays a very different type of character in the hit US show The Umbrella Academy which returns to Netflix on July 31st.

The show tells the story of 7 very special people who were all born on the same day in 1989. In fact on that day forty-three infants are inexplicably born to random, unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Seven are adopted by a billionaire who creates The Umbrella Academy and prepares his "children" to save the world.

Season 2 picks up exactly where season 1 left off.... Doomsday!

Season 2 Synopsis:

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.
