Hitting Netflix on on Friday, July 31 is the second season of Gerard Way’s hit superhero series The Umbrella Academy, which will see the return of the Hargreeves siblings following the first season finale’s time-travel cliffhanger

In The Umbrella Academy, on the same day in 1989, 43 infants inexplicably are born to random, unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Seven are adopted by a billionaire who creates The Umbrella Academy and prepares his “children” to save the world. In the first season, we saw the six surviving members reunite when they learned of the passing of their father. Together, they worked to solve the mystery surrounding his death but the estranged family began to unravel due to their divergent personalities, abilities and a global apocalypse.
