After impressing many with its debut season, it comes as no surprise to hear that Netflix is renewing The Umbrella Academy for a second season.

The on-demand streaming service confirmed the news, with a ten-episode second season now officially ordered. Production on the new season will start in Toronto, Canada this summer.

For those yet to check to check out The Umbrella Academy, the official blurb on the series reads:

On the same day in 1989, forty-three infants are inexplicably born to random, unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Seven are adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves, a billionaire industrialist, who creates The Umbrella Academy and prepares his “children” to save the world. But not everything went according to plan. In their teenage years, the family fractured and the team disbanded. Now, the six surviving thirty-something members reunite upon the news of Hargreeves’ passing. Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Vanya and Number Five work together to solve a mystery surrounding their father’s death. But the estranged family once again begins to come apart due to their divergent personalities and abilities, not to mention the imminent threat of a global apocalypse.

Expect more on Season 2 of The Umbrella Academy as it continues to develop.
