The Umbrella Academy is an American superhero web TV series. It is the remake of the comic book series of the same name published by Dark Horse Comics. Steve Blackman created this show for Netflix. This series made its debut on 15 February 2019 and became a huge success. Therefore the creators gave the green light to the second installment of this show in the same month of its release. It follows the story of a dysfunctional family of adopted sibling superheroes who meet to solve the secret of their father’s death and the threat of an approaching apocalypse.

The Showrunner Teased A Big Change!

In a recent interview with Comicbook, the showrunner Jeff Russo teases some change in The Umbrella Academy Season 2. He said, “Well, there’s definitely an important change in setting, that’s for sure. And we tried not to change too much the way of how to tell the story musically. We’re going to be using a lot of exceptional songs in season two. We use score in a significant way to maintain the emotional arcs of all of our characters in season one. We’ll be doing that again in season two.

There are some new characters that we’re going to be having some fun with from a scoring aspect, and that’s always fun, coming up with new thematic plans for new characters and how to underscore them. So there’s a lot of new and then there’s a lot of the same. It’s a lot of both, but it’s definitely a thrill ride this year.”
