A group of dysfunctional siblings with superpowers travels back in time to the 1960s in the hope of warding off the apocalypse in the official trailer for the second season of The Umbrella Academy.

The Monocle, an alien disguised as billionaire industrialist Sir Reginald Hargreeves, adopts seven surviving children out of 43 mysteriously born to random women who had not been pregnant the day before.

The children are raised at Hargreeves' Umbrella Academy and become a family of superheroes with special powers.

Number Two, Diego (David Castañeda), aka The Kraken, specializes in knife-throwing and can hold his breath for a really long time.

Then there's Number Seven, Vanya (Ellen Page), who apparently has no superpowers, although we eventually learn she is most powerful of all and can use the energy of sound waves to destructive ends.

Papa Hargreeves eventually created a robot mother, Grace (Jordan Claire Robbins) to look after his charges.

Finally, there is Number Five (Aidan Gallagher), aka The Boy, who can teleport through time and space.

He recruits his siblings to help him avert the apocalypse, which will occur in eight days.

As the Moon's fragments rain down on Earth, marking the start of the apocalypse, Five offers to bring his siblings back with him in time, so they can once again try to avert the destruction of the world.

The finale ends with the group's time jump.

Per the S2 official synopsis: "Blasted back in time to 1960s Dallas, the scattered siblings build new lives for themselves—until a new doomsday threat pulls them back together.".

The trailer opens right after the time jump, with Five ending up alone and calling for Luther and Diego.

Eventually, the siblings regroup, which is when Five tells them they "brought the end of the world back here with us." You can't escape your apocalyptic destiny, it seems.

Since the Hargreeves siblings aren't supposed to be there, perhaps their presence has changed the timeline.

(In the comics, he recruits Five to assassinate Kennedy, but Five refuses.) There's one final surprise: a younger Reginald Hargreeves, monocle intact, reunited with the superpowered team he tried to build in the future.
