Some excellent news from Screen Rant today who are reporting that Netflix has renewed The Umbrella Academy for a second season.
The site is reporting that the cast and crew are gearing up to begin production on the second season in May. It is said that the shooting schedule will take the show through September so at present we expect a late 2019/early 2020 release.
Netflix has yet to officially comment on the status of the show but should this rumour be correct we expect an announcement to come very soon!
The Umbrella Academy is based on the popular, Eisner award-winning comics and graphic novels created and written by Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance), illustrated by Gabriel Bá, and published by Dark Horse Comics. The live-action series stars Ellen Page, Tom Hopper, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, David Castañeda, Aidan Gallagher, Cameron Britton, and Mary J. Blige, and is produced by Universal Cable Productions for Netflix. Steve Blackman (Fargo, Altered Carbon) will serve as executive producer and showrunner, with additional executive producers Jeff F. King (Hand of God), Bluegrass Television, and Mike Richardson and Keith Goldberg from Dark Horse Entertainment. Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá will serve as co-executive producers.
Season 1 on The Umbrella Academy is available now via Netflix worldwide.
