Finally! We can now confirm that Netflix has officially renewed The Umbrella Academy for a second season.

The Umbrella Academy Season 2 Release Date
Now that renewal is confirmed we can speculate when the next season will arrive. Filming for the first season took 6 months from January 2018 to July 2018 and the release of the first season didn’t happen until February of the following year.
We can assume that the following season may follow suit. An Indiewire interview with showrunner Steve Blackman has revealed that each season takes up to 18 months to produce, therefore we aren’t expecting to see Season 2 of The Umbrella Academy until late 2020 at the earliest!
