The Umbrella Academy: 10 Huge Questions For Season 2

You probably shouldn't consult the comics for answers...

By Fergal Harte /

The season finale of Netflix's Umbrella Academy left everyone on quite the cliffhanger. Vanya inadvertently destroyed the moon, causing the apocalypse the group had spent the entire show trying to prevent, and the last episode ended with Five taking his family into the time stream, meaning that viewers weren't exactly left with all the answers.

The future of the Academy is even more mysterious, seeing as the ending diverted massively from what happened in the comics, so it's not as if fans can simply refer to source material for indication as to where the group will end up by the start of Season 2 either.

This means that the Umbrella Academy is heading into uncharted territory, which brings its own unique questions into the mix.

There's no way of knowing what's to come, and though that brings both negatives and positives, regardless, there are sure to be plenty of questions fans have regarding the show's future...

10. Will There Be An Explanation As To Why The 43 Births Happened?

One of the most intriguing things about the Umbrella Academy was the event that kicked off the story of both the comics and Netflix show - that being the births of the 43 superpowered children.

Though, despite the intrigue surrounding this occurrence, there has been absolutely no explanation as to why it happened or even why all of the children born in this manner ended up with powers (in the books or on-screen), something which is especially surprising, seeing as the first of the comics released over a decade ago.

With it having been such a long wait for any answers regarding the births, it would be nice to have any explanation at this point, even if does end up having to be onscreen instead of in the pages of the comics.

Yet, if this does end up being the case, then hopefully the reasoning will be one that the creators of the Umbrella Academy, Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá, sign off on - just to give it some semblance of credibility.
