Cameron Britton, Aidan Gallagher, Robert Sheehan and Emmy Raver-Lampman, cast members of The Umbrella Academy, give you a refresher on season one to get you prepped to watch season two. The show returns to Netflix July 31.
The Umbrella Academy is the Netflix original TV series based on the Dark Horse Comics franchise of the same name by Gerard Way and Garbriel Ba.
The TV series finds the adult members of a super team / adopted family reuniting after years of estrangement due to their father's mysterious death. Drawing from tropes found in comics like X-Men, the father in this case is Sir Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore) a wealthy industrialist who adopted seven children, who were born under bizarre circumstances and each of whom has a super-human ability. Vanya (Elliot Page), Luther (Tom Hopper), Diego (David Castaneda), Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman), Klaus (Robert Sheehan), Number Five (Aidan Gallagher) and Ben (Justin H. Min) are the children who live and train at the Umbrella Academy. They are cared for by their "mother" Grace (Jordan Claire Robbins) and the family butler Pogo (Adam Godley) an intelligent chimpanzee.
