How to watch Umbrella Academy Season 2 from anywhere

Unlike other recent superhero TV shows that are based on properties from Marvel or DC, Netflix's The Umbrella Academy is actually based on the comics of the same name by My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way. The first season of the show released just last year and was streamed by over 45 million viewers in its first month and now Netflix is set to release season 2 of The Umbrella Academy worldwide on Friday, July 31.

The Umbrella Academy tells the story of 43 babies that were born at exactly the same time on the same day to mothers who were not pregnant the day before. Eccentric billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves then decides to adopt seven of these children, who he believes to be the future saviors of Earth, and trains them to be a superhero team in what he calls "The Umbrella Academy". The children are given the names Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Number Five, Ben and Vanya by their nanny robot-mother Grace. Many years pass and the members of The Umbrella Academy go their separate ways in the world. However, they are reunited following the sudden and mysterious death of Sir Reginald.

Without going into spoilers for those who haven't seen or have yet to finish season 1 of The Umbrella Academy, season 2 of the show will be set in the 1960s in and around Dallas, Texas. In season 2, the superpowered siblings will have to find a way to reunite, figure out what caused the apocalypse and how to stop it and then return to the present. Most of the cast from season 1 will be returning for the second season and they will be joined by Ritu Arya, Yusuf Gatewood and Marin Ireland.

Whether you're just hearing about The Umbrella Academy for the first time or have been eagerly awaiting the next season since last season 1's cliffhanger, we have all the details on how you can watch season 2 of The Umbrella Academy online from anywhere in the world.
