UMBRELLA ACADEMY Season 2 Soundtrack Released – Music by Jeff Russo & Perrine Vergile

The music from the Netflix original series THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY Season 2 has been released digitally on Lakeshore Records. The album features original music by Emmy® Award-winning composer Jeff Russo and Perrine Virgile. The genre-mixing, wildly imaginative superhero series stars Ellen Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher and Justin H. Min, and streams globally on Netflix.

Created for television by Steve Blackman, THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY is based on the popular, Eisner award-winning comics and graphic novels published by Dark Horse Comics. The series is produced by UCP, a division of Universal Studios Group, for Netflix.

The series is about a family of former child heroes, Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Five, Ben, and Vanya, who have grown apart but have reunited to continue to protect the world from a coming apocalypse. With Season 1 ending with the heroes failing to save the world, with time-traveling Five sending  himself and his siblings back in time to try and prevent the catastrophe from an earlier time, Season 2 finds the family scattered across the timescape between 1960 and 1963 Dallas, Texas – only to find another world-ending apocalypse brimming. Seeking each other within the timelines, the Umbrella Academy must find a way to reunite, figure out what caused the earlier doomsday, put a stop to it, and return to the present timeline to stop that other nasty apocalypse. All while being hunted by a trio of ruthless Swedish assassins.

The digital soundtrack is available now. Download/Listen from these links.

In related news, IGN reports that Netflix has officially renewed THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY for a third, 10-episode season.
