The Umbrella Academy team had failed miserably to stop the end of the world, last time we saw them. They narrowly escaped Earth’s destruction thanks to Number Five’s (Aidan Gallagher) time travel and teleportation ability. Now we finally see where they ended up in these newly released images from Umbrella Academy season 2.
The titular family were transported to Dallas in the 1960s. However, due to Number Five’s inability to effectively control his powers, the team is split up with each character arriving at a slightly different point in time. Five then must assemble the superhero family to stop yet another apocalypse.

Some new characters are introduced this season, including Texas housewife Sissy (Marin Ireland, an insane yet brilliant “chameleon” named Lila (Ritu Arya), and husband and natural-born leader Raymond (Yusuf Gatewood). New antagonists include three Swedish assassins played by Tom Sinclair, Kris Holden-Ried, and Jason Bryden.
Check the newly released synopsis below:
“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.”
