The Umbrella Academy was one of Netflix's breakout hits of 2019, so it's no surprise that a second season is on the way.
Jeff Russo (no relation to Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo) is back to compose for the second run, and chatted to ComicBook.com about what we can expect.
"Well, there's definitely a big change in setting, that's for sure," he said.

"And we tried not to change too much the approach of how to tell the story musically. I mean, we used a lot of really great songs in season one. We're going to be using a lot of great songs in season two.
"We use score in a very meaningful way to support the emotional arcs of all of our characters in season one. We'll be doing that again in season two.
What to Read Next
"There are some new characters that we're going to be having some fun with from a score perspective and that's always fun, coming up with new thematic ideas for new characters and how to underscore them. So there's a lot of new and then there's a lot of the same.
"It's a lot of both, but it's definitely a thrill ride this year."

So that's a new setting, new characters and lots more good songs, just in case you were worried they were going to start using experimental dubstep or something.
