The Umbrella Academy Urges Us to Follow Klaus for Enlightenment

Another day, another round of very cool promotional key art/images that ties in nicely with what we've seen so far (and makes sense out of so much of the random stuff we were trying to process earlier) of the second season of Netflix's The Umbrella Academy. This time, we've got three groovy, trippy posters for Klaus' (Robert Sheehan) free-loving spiritual cult. But from the looks of things, fame, fortune, and thousands of followers aren't enough to chase away his inner demons. What impact all of this has on his relationship with Ben (Justin Min) remains to be seen, but so far? Things do not look promising.

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?).

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. Joining them on their time-twisted mission are Texas housewife Sissy; a devoted husband and natural-born leader, Raymond; and "chameleon" Lila, who can be as brilliant or as clinically insane as the situation requires. Unpredictable, mischievous, and sarcastic, Lila's gifted with a twisted sense of humor.

The Umbrella Academy season 2 stars Ellen Page as Vanya Hargreeves aka The White Violin aka Number Seven, Tom Hopper as Luther Hargreeves aka Spaceboy aka Number One, David Castañeda as Diego Hargreeves aka The Kraken aka Number Two, Emmy Raver-Lampman as Allison Hargreeves aka The Rumor aka Number Three, Robert Sheehan as Klaus Hargreeves aka The Séance aka Number Four, Aidan Gallagher as Five Hargreeves aka The Boy, and Justin H. Min as Ben Hargreeves aka The Horror aka Number Six.
