THEY’RE BACK, BABEY! The cast and crew of Netflix‘s The Umbrella Academy have returned to set for season two. The show was finally renewed in April much to the delight of fans after the streaming giant took its sweet, sweet time to announce the news.

The series, created by My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way and illustrated by Gabriel Bá, is weird as hell but a fun ride. It begins with one fateful day in 1989 when 43 babies are born to random, unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy before giving birth. Seven of these mysterious bubs are adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves, a billionaire responsible for creating The Umbrella Academy. Turns out, each baby has a unique super ability like super-human strength, time travelling, and the power of real hardcore reality manipulation.
Ellen Page leads the cast as Vanya Hargreeves (The White Violin), Tom Hopper as huge unit Luther Hargreeves (Spaceboy), David Castañeda as Diego Hargreeves (The Kraken), Emmy Raver-Lampman as Allison Hargreeves (The Rumor), Robert Sheehan as sweet angel Klaus Hargreeves (The Séance), Aidan Gallagher as Number Five (The Boy), and Justin H. Min as Ben Hargreeves (Number Six).
“You guys, there are some amazing stuff for you this season, can’t wait for you to see it,” Raver-Lampman said in a video posted to show’s Twitter feed. Just about all of the main cast is in it, even Benny boy.
“We are so excited to finally have the family altogether to start shooting season two of Umbrella Academy. We cannot wait to share what’s in store for this season. Thank you for the continuing love and support,” Min said.
