The Umbrella Academy

Synopsis

A year later, we return to the Umbrella Academy, created many years ago by billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves. Under one roof, he brought together babies with exceptional abilities, born at the same time, but in different parts of the country. One of them controls time, the other communicates with the dead, and someone simply has super strength.

Years later, there are several not-so-happy adults with not-so-good lives.

If the first season of The Umbrella Academy’s starting point was the sudden death of Reginald Hargreeves, now we see the heroes who escaped the apocalypse, got into another time and found new troubles.
