The final season of Jessica Jones may have marked the end of Netflix's partnership with Marvel, but that didn't mean the streaming giant was saying goodbye to superheroes forever.

A superhero story seen through an original Wes Anderson-shaped prism, the series tells the story of a dysfunctional super family. The seven Hargreeves brothers have been brought together by an eccentric billionaire whose plans to save the world take precedence over being a good father, and all the children have been harmed. After a successful first season that was in the top 10 Netflix shows of 2019, Umbrella Academy season 2 should arrive in 2020. With the end of the world literally happening in the season finale, the follow-up will be a very tight affair. different, so read on to find out everything you need to know about what to expect from the kids of Hargreeves the next time they team up for action...

The Umbrella Academy Season 2 Story: What We Expect
Right now, that's the big mystery, because everyone connected to the series plays their cards pretty close to their chest. However, it's pretty safe to say that the series will pick up directly after the season 1 finale, where Number Seven/Vanya (who, unknown to her family, had superpowers throughout) blew up part of the Moon, inadvertently causing the destruction of planet Earth. Teleportation number five saved the Hargreeves brothers by transporting them to another time, taking them back to their teenage years. "The truth is, we don't know where they are," showrunner Steve Blackman told the Hollywood Reporter in February 2019. "We don't know what happened to them. I wanted it to be the best of the cliffs, in the sense that you tell yourself himself "Wait, what? What happened?" This gives us a lot of openness and legroom to tell the best story possible. But the apocalypse isn't solved. They didn't save the world, which is a slight alteration from the comics. For me it was the cliffhanger of Netflix correct. You really want people to go into the offseason saying, "I need to know what happened," and that will be revealed when you watch the second season." This is all very mysterious, at least we know that the first episode of season 2 by The Umbrella Academy will be called "Right Back Where We Started". While the TV show was drastically changed in comic book history because the Hargreeves brothers and sisters didn't save the apocalypse, the writer's writing room The show still uses the graphic novels by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá as a model for the series. This means that there may be clues; For example, it won't be a surprise if The Umbrella Academy season 2 sees Number One/Luther dealing with depression, following revelations about his father's decision to send him to the Moon for four years. "The point is not to diverge (graphic novels)," Blackman told Indiewire. "Not everything translates from the graphic novel page to the screen, but there is a legion of fans and I want to bring in a whole new legion of fans who have never read the graphic novel, so the goal is not to go our own way." . And Gerard Way (arguably most famous for his other work as the singer of My Chemical Romance) wants the eight-part graphic novel arc he writes with Bá to continue to define the agenda - no one involved wants the series to go beyond the material. original as a game. of Thrones did the George RR Martin novels. "The goal for us is to be one step ahead," Way said in the same interview, "and since we're on series three (comics), we're now ahead of the series." And in case of an emergency, Way and Bá have put together an 18-page road map for Blackman and the rest of the editorial team so they know where everything is going.
What questions should The Umbrella Academy season 2 answer?
The mystery of Vanya/Number Seven's apparent lack of power may have been solved, but the Umbrella Academy season 1 finale has left plenty of children who have yet to be explored. Above all, we know that on October 1, 1989, 43 women gave birth simultaneously. We met seven, but what happened to the other 36? We're sure to meet thirty more powerful ones in season 2. Then there's the mystery of Sir Reginald Hargreeves, the foster father of the overwhelmed brothers. The flashback to episode 10, "The White Violin," suggests that he may have come from another planet, but how did he end up on Earth? And how was he so sure of the impending apocalypse that he was ready to kill himself to gather his children to save the world? We also have questions about the actual extent of Klaus/Number Four and Vanya/Number Seven's powers, and how the tentacle-wielding Godbrother Number Six/Ben lost his life. And we'd really love to hear more about The Handler and the Time Management Commission from him.Who is part of the Umbrella Academy season 2 distribution?

BE CAREFUL WITH THE KIDS! We've heard a rumor that new friends are joining us this season. Welcome them on September 10, 2019 And that's yet to be officially confirmed, but the omission of the chronological plot means the apocalypse surely won't have spelled the end for the time-traveling assassins Cha-Cha (Mary J Blige ) and Hazel (Cameron Britton), or her boss The Manager (Kate Walsh). And somewhere between time travel, flashbacks, and Klaus's ability to speak to the dead, there should be plenty of ways back for the late Sir Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore), android's mother, Grace.
