The series is produced by Borderline Entertainment, Dark Horse Entertainment, and Universal Cable Productions. The first season of the show is already over and now a second one is coming. In this, we are going to talk about the second season of The Umbrella Academy.
The Umbrella Academy Season 2 Plot
As for the story, there haven’t been many details on what the story will be in the second season, but the few details that were revolving around the internet suggest that there is going to be a lot of time travel in the second season. This speculation started when the director of The Umbrella Academy, Steve Blackman, shared a story related to the completion of season 2. And the story that he shared was resembling the text for Season 2, which reads “Right Back Where We Started.” This could mean that our heroes might be traveling back through time in order to make things right because of those who have watched the first season know that they were unable to stop the world from ending at the end of the first season. This will make sense as the title of the episode also suggests it. Moreover, it is pretty hard to tell what will happen in the second season as the showrunners don’t follow the comics that closely. But whatever the case, it is something that fans are looking forward to.
The Umbrella Academy Season 2 Production
The season one of the show was first developed as a film that was optioned by Universal Pictures in 2011. But it was then developed as a TV series in 2015, before being officially greenlit by Netflix in July 2017. The series was filmed in Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario. When the first season was released in Netflix, it received praise from the audience and critics alike for its cast and visuals. Furthermore, it was revealed by Netflix that 45 million households had watched season one during only its first month of release.
Afterward, in the same month, the series was renewed for a second season. This was revealed by one of the cast members through an Instagram post. Furthermore, Visual effects for the series are handled by SpinVFX, which is pretty good news. It was pretty obvious that the show was going to be renewed for a second season all because of its popularity and the attention it drew when it first premiered.
