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?

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?

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!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
