Umbrella Academy: 11 Biggest Questions After Season 2

11. Who Exactly Are The Majestic 12?

Dying just prior to the main event of the first season, eccentric billionaire and founder of The Umbrella Academy Reginald Hargreeves remained an enigma to viewers. Seeing him briefly in a handful of flashbacks as well as a candid conversation with Klaus (Robert Sheehan), all we really knew about Mr Hargreeves was that he was far from being a supportive father figure, or a pleasant person in general.

With the second series taking place in the 60s, however, we got the chance to meet the man before he was involved with the Academy. Verbally degrading his future children on multiple occasions, he was just as venomous and mysterious as his future self.

Near the start of the series, it’s revealed that Reginald was involved in plotting JFK’s assassination, working as part of a shadowy organisation known as the Majestic 12. But other than that, we know nothing else about who this cabal really are or what they’re motivations were – or even why Hargreeves agreed to work from the obviously sinister organisation in the first place.

Could a third season finally tell us more about Hargreeves’ past?
