I Watched The Trailer for the Second Season of "The Umbrella Academy" And I’m More Confused Than Ever Before

New hairstyles? Assassination attempts? An underground fighting ring?

It's been about a year and half since the first season of Netflix's The Umbrella Academy came out, and boy, weren't we taken on a wild ride. The second season is slated to premiere at this end of this coming month, and I wouldn't be the only one that is TOTALLY EXCITED to see our complicated supernatural family back at it again. Yesterday morning, Netflix dropped the much anticipated trailer and after watching it a hundred times, I can say I am both thrilled and a little perplexed.

*Note: if you haven't seen the trailer yet and want to avoid spoilers, stop reading now.*


Ok, let's first go over the big stuff that the trailer revealed about what our characters are going to be up to this season.


The Apocalypse came with them?!?

Who said time travel was easy? Our characters are definitely in for it as they only have a mere few days to save the world, AGAIN. Looks like they can't escape their doomed fate to end the human race.

Apparently, they need to assassinate the President

COURTESY OF NETFLIX/NETFLIX

Last season we found out that Five joined "The Commission", an organization that gets rid of anyone that tampers with the fabric of time. We also learned that the day Five returned to the family, he was supposed to assassinate President JFK. Because of him cancelling his hitman contract and letting someone else kill the President, that set something else in motion that will eventually lead to the end of the world sooner.


Who's running The Commission now?

COURTESY OF NETFLIX/NETFLIX

With the death of The Handler, The Commission needs a new leader. But who? Well, according to the trailer, it looks like these three dudes, and they are sure hell bent on killing the Hargreeves in order to preserve the timeline.


The trailer not only set up the obstacles our abnormal family has to face, but it also unveiled new storylines for each of them.

Luther joined a fight club?

Looks like Luther is still part monkey and finally owning up to it. However, for some reason, he's part of an underground fighting ring now? I guess monkey see, monkey do.


Diego's in a psych ward?

COURTESY OF NETFLIX/NETFLIX

It appears that our badass number two ended up in some type of psychiatric hospital, evidently with longer hair and possibly, a new love interest.


Does Allison have a new lover?

COURTESY OF NETFLIX/NETFLIX

What happened to her and Luther? Okay, I know they are part of the same family, and technically not blood related at all, but I still lowkey shipped them. Now, we see her holding hands with someone else. Who is this guy? What happened to her husband and daughter in the future? What would Luther say about this?


Supposedly, Klaus is a cult leader now?

COURTESY OF NETFLIX/NETFLIX

Klaus whines that his cult is not gonna like that the world is ending so quickly, as he had foretold that they had until 2019 to live. Leave it to Klaus to be the classic family weirdo in any time period. He's also rocking a wild hairstyle alongside his brother.


Five is at it again

COURTESY OF NETFLIX/NETFLIX

Five has to attempt to save the world and escape The Commission, again. Let's just hope he doesn't mess up anything more with his complicated time travel powers.


Ben is still a ghost

COURTESY OF NETFLIX/NETFLIX

We never really found out how Ben passed away prior to the start of the series, but through Klaus's powers to communicate with the dead, Ben is still able to enjoy the family shenanigans. Yet, I was definitely one of those people that wanted to see Ben join the world of the living again. I guess I will just have to settle for the sibling fights between him and Klaus.


Who is Vanya driving?

COURTESY OF NETFLIX/NETFLIX

Even though Vanya's powers did cause the apocalypse, her family wasn't going to leave her in the now crumbled future. How did they tell her she was the cause for the demise of Earth? And also the Moon? I hope she took it well and decides to use her powers for good in the new season.


Lastly, it would be a terrible injustice if I didn't mention these surprising moments in the trailer also.

Hazel is back!

COURTESY OF NETFLIX/NETFLIX

Last time we saw Hazel, he was escaping with his lover, Agnes. He quit his job at The Commission and time traveled to some unknown period. But now we know! Apparently, he landed in Dallas in 1963, and even aged a little. Good thing he's there to fill in the gaps for Five.


REGINALD HARGREEVES!!!

COURTESY OF NETFLIX/NETFLIX

I knew we hadn't seen the last of Reginald Hargreeves. His death couldn't stop him from being involved in his children's lives. But will him meeting them six years earlier affect the future, again? Plus, IS THAT A BABY POGO???


Definitely more dancing

COURTESY OF NETFLIX/NETFLIX

It wouldn't be The Umbrella Academy without some awkward family dancing.


I can't wait to binge the new season when it comes out on July 31st!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
