T-minus 18 days until Season 2 drops, The Umbrella Academy lovers! Netflix’s superhero series released a full-length trailer for the upcoming season last week. Now, members of the cast have recapped Season 1 to prepare us for what’s surely to be a groovy and apocalyptic Season 2.
Below, you can watch the 11-minute video with Aidan Gallagher (Number Five), Cameron Britton (Hazel), Emmy Raver-Lampman (Allison), and Robert Sheehan (Klaus). The quartet break down the main components of each Season 1 episode from start to finish. Of course, Sheehan provided plenty of witty quips along the way. We started at the very beginning, when the Hargreeves children were born at the same time on October 1st, 1989. Inexplicable phenomena, much? Fast forward several years later. Our core characters reunited at the now-defunct Umbrella Academy to mourn their dearly departed father Reginald (Colm Feore). Shenanigans ensued when Number Five returned from a prolonged sojourn in the future to inform the gang that the apocalypse was nigh. Seriously.
Klaus spiraled down a drug-laden rabbit hole and could see Ben (Justin Min), the Hargeeves’ long-dead brother. Diego (David Castañeda) sulked around throwing knives and fighting crime vigilante-style. Allison and Luther (Tom Hopper) attempted to suppress their feelings for one another. Even though they technically aren’t related, they still grew up together, so…ew. Vanya (Ellen Page) experienced quite the shunning from her siblings due to the salacious memoir she wrote years ago about the Umbrella Academy. Over the course of Season 1, Vanya discovered she possessed latent abilities that just needed a little push. As it turned out, she became the most powerful of the Hargreeves siblings. Klaus traveled back in time, fought in the Vietnam War, and found love. Then, he lost said love.
Number Five had a few run-ins with Agents Hazel and Cha-Cha (Mary J. Blige), who arrived from the future to avert the apocalypse. In addition, Five was also commissioned to work for an exclusive agency that could “teak time,” as it were. But…bureaucracy, am I right? I can’t claim that joke. I blatantly stole it from the video recap below. Oh, and Diego had to shut off Robot Mom a.k.a. Grace (Jordan Claire Robbins), because it was thought she may have contributed to Dad Hargreeves’ death.
Finally, after trying to futilely prevent the inevitably apocalypse, after Vanya brutally murdered poor Pogo (voiced by Adam Godley), our crew traveled back in time. Well, if Vanya hadn’t shot a laser beam from her chest that shattered the moon into pieces, then we wouldn’t be in this mess!
