Plot of Season 1: What did it offer and where it left?
Season 1 centred on Number 5’s attempts to stop the apocalypse after he accidentally traveled ahead forward in future as a child to find out the end of the world. The show apparently starts when Number 5 makes it back to the present at which point he realizes that all his superhero siblings have become adults.
As now 5 has discovered how the world ends, it prompts him to make efforts and stop it, but he fails. It turns out that, the sister Vanya (Ellen Page) they all underestimated and thought was apparently powerless was the reason behind the destruction.
Their adopted father had suppressed her evil abilities as a child. When Allison faces Vanya in the final fight, she thinks that she successfully saved the world without killing her sister. But to everyone’s surprise, it wasn’t over yet. One of Vanya’s energy beams hits the moon and splits into pieces, which come hurtling down to Earth.

What can we expect from Season 2?
Frankly, The Umbrella Academy season 1 finale left plenty of threads dangling still to be explored.
If fan theories are to be believed then the season two will most likely demonstrate the siblings struggling with their mission to rescue the world just how they did in the first. But for that, they will have to maintain a team; and involve their sister Vanya. However, this is just an estimate and only an official trailer can give us a proper sneak peek of the most awaited second season’s plot.
