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?!?

COURTESY OF NETFLIX/NETFLIX

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?

COURTESY OF NETFLIX/NETFLIX

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!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
