What is The Umbrella Academy about?

The Umbrella Academy is about a family of superheroes who join forces to investigate the mysterious death of their father, and overcome the threat of the apocalypse.

One day in 1989, forty-three babies are born unexpectedly to women who previously showed no signs of pregnancy.

All fort-three of them develop supernatural powers and six of them are adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves.

He creates The Umbrella Academy and hopes to use their super powers to save the world.

The family then separates but reunites when they hear news of Sir Reginald's death.

Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Vanya and Number Five join forces once again.

The Umbrella Academy is based on the comic book series created and written by Gerard Way, illustrated by Gabriel Bá, and published by Dark Horse Comics.

The Umbrella Academy series 2 airs on Netflix from July 31st at 8am.
