Disclaimer: Spoilers Ahead for ‘Umbrella Academy’ Season 2.
As the sequel of Netflix’s much-awaited superhero sibling drama Umbrella Academy hit our screens recently, we couldn’t help but stop ourselves from binge-watching all of it.
Season 2 of this drama-fantasy series throws all seven siblings (Luther, Allison, Klaus, Vanya, Number Five, Diego, Ben) to different timelines into Dallas, Texas before their then-President John. F. Kennedy’s assassination. Eventually, all of them find their way back to each other only to find out that they need to stop another apocalypse in the year 1963.
Here are a few scenes from the series that stayed with us as we eagerly wait for the next season.
