The Umbrella Academy fends off the end of the world while stuck in the 60s in the very first trailer for season two
The Hargreeves siblings do not have time on their side in the first trailer for season two of The Umbrella Academy.
The second stretch of Netflix series continues to follow the ragtag family of superheroes as they try to stop the end of the world.
While The Umbrella Academy was able to escape their first apocalypse with a bit of time travel at the end of season one, the group comes to realize that the world-ending force wasn’t gone but followed them into the swinging 60s.

Now scattered throughout 1960 to 1963, the siblings must thwart another doomsday event somehow linked to President Kennedy’s assassination.
While Five (Aidan Gallagher) finds himself in Dallas just 10 days before the catastrophe, his siblings have been busy with other things.
Klaus (Robert Sheehan) starts a cult and Alison (Emmy Raver-Lampman) dedicates herself to the Civil Rights movement.
At the same time, Luther (Tom Hopper) uses his brawn boxing, Ben (Justin H. Min) hits the road, and Diego (David Castañeda) is forced to deal with his demons.
