THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY CAST TV

The first TV episode is called 'Meet the Family', which gives you a brief clue as to what to expect. Will the originals want to return to their own timeline, or is this their new home? We find out this season as it borrows some of the storyline from the Hotel Oblivion arc in the comic books. The Umbrella Academy is now the Sparrow Academy, Reginald Hargraves is still alive, as is Ben, and there are a new band of superpowered students. Having saved the world from the apocalypse (again), the Academy members managed to return to 2019 only to find themselves in a different timeline. Look away now if you want to avoid spoliers for seasons 1 and 2. The Umbrella Academy: Season 2 is available to stream on Netflix from Friday, July 31.Netflix The Umbrella Academy season 3 plot It was important that they have some relationships with other people during this time, which is why I built those characters in.' So, they all have a life, sometimes you have someone who would only be in there for 90 days like Diego, but Klaus was there for three years. 'I needed to lay some groundwork because everyone had been in Dallas for different times in the 1960s. 'But I think what makes our show special is, at the heart, we're a dysfunctional family show and the characters come first. 'There was a lot of ground to cover in terms of what the plot was,' he says. The Umbrella Academy Season 2 poster (Netflix) Showrunner Steve Blackman tells 9Honey Celebrity that it was certainly 'tricky' incorporating these new characters, considering none were featured in the comics. New characters also emerge in Season 2 - notably Sissy (Marin Ireland), Lila (Ritu Arya) and Raymond Chestnut (Yusuf Gatewood), who weave their way into the new lives of certain Hargreeves individuals.

Ellen Page talks to 9Honey Celebrity about Vanya's role in Season 2. It was illegal to be gay at the time, considered a mental illness, and a lot of people are in similar situations today. 'But yes, the obstacles are very much reflected. 'I love that they get to fall in love and experience joy,' she adds. 'And really connect with another person, because she's never had that before as we saw in the first season.' 'It was so nice to get to play Vanya falling in love for the first time,' Page tells 9Honey Celebrity. While adjusting to the confusion and figuring out who she really is, she also finds a new love interest. This season, Vanya is given the opportunity to start a new life in Dallas, taken in by a family after landing and almost instantly getting hit by a car – causing her to lose her memory. As an actor, to have that opportunity to be a part of that was unbelievable.' Emmy Raver-Lampman as Allison Hargreeves. 'Getting the opportunity to shoot the riot scene in the third episode was really impactful for me and educational and emotional. 'The stakes were so high within the show but also in reality,' Raver-Lampman says.

Klaus becomes the leader of a cult, while Ben is bound to his brother due to Klaus' ability to communicate with the dead. The first two Hargreeves children to land in the past are Klaus (Robert Sheehan) and the late Ben (Justin H. So, it's interesting to see how we've all gone on our own separate journeys at the beginning and how the world ending again brings us back.'

But I think that's one of the challenges of Season 2, is getting through all the weeds of being separate and getting back together. 'It was a bit of an odd change for us initially. 'I think it was a learning curve for us all in the start of the second season because none of us really saw each other,' Tom Hopper, who plays Luther Hargreeves, tells 9Honey Celebrity.
