There is no detailed information on how the showrunners explore the plot in season 2. However, season 1 ended with a lot of questions that fans hope to answer in the next season.
The Umbrella Academy season 2 plot will explore the characters’ relationship with each other and how will they try to bring back the earth to its original state. In season 1, the apocalypse destroyed the world but the Umbrella Academy went back in time to save themselves.
Season 2 will take the viewers down memory lane. While in the past, the siblings will find Dr. Hargreeves and warn him to prepare for the upcoming apocalypse. However, Vanya is kept from the rest of the family because of her great power. The siblings will not only deal with the living Dr. Hargreeves but also deal with the Commission who always hunts them down.

An interesting character that will definitely come out in The Umbrella Academy season 2 is Vanya. In the previous season, Vanya did not believe that she got superpowers like her siblings.
Leonard found out the Vanya is the most powerful of all Hargreeves’ adoptive children. In his anger toward the academy, Leonard made Vanya unleashed her powers, hence, triggered the apocalypse.
The Umbrella Academy season 2 will feature the siblings to fix their relationship with Vanya. At the same time, to compel Dr. Hargreeves to train Vanya so that the apocalypse will not happen.
If The Umbrella Academy follows the source material, there is a possibility that fans will be introduced to the Hotel Oblivion. Dr. Hargreeves created the Hotel Oblivion as a prison filled with villains caught by the academy.
Also, an adversary to Dr. Hargreeves, Dr. Terminal is inside the prison. Furthermore, fans will know the relationship between Dr. Terminal and Dr. Hargreeves if this would be included in the plot.
