“The Umbrella Academy” is Back!
Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy returned Friday, 31 July 2020 with a second season. The second season, consisting of ten episodes, sees the lead characters arrive in Dallas, Texas during various points of the early 1960’s. The apocalypse we saw in the closing seconds of the first season finale was only the beginning. There is another one coming, in 1963, and Number Five (Aidan Gallagher) and the team have ten days to save the world.

The source material for The Umbrella Academy was created by writer Gerard Way. With illustrations drawn by Gabriel Bá, published by Dark Horse Comics, The Umbrella Academy: Dallas was released in 2008. It seems, based merely on the first few episodes, Netflix plugged into this second season significantly more money than that seen with what was offered subscribers last year. With more money, recognising the importance of source material accuracy, comes a greater responsibility to the fans. Half measures are never appreciated.
