The Gerard Way, Netflix-adapted series made the announcement via their Instagram story, revealing that three new stars would be joining the show’s upcoming season.

Ritu Arya, Yusuf Gatewood and Marin Ireland have joined the live-action superhero series alongside the return of Ellen Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher and Justin H. Min.

Arya will play Lila, “a chameleon who can be as brilliant or as clinically insane as the situation requires.”

Gatewood will play Raymond, “a born leader and devoted husband” with “the smarts, gravitas, and the confidence to never have to prove it to anyone.”

Ireland will play Sissy, “a fearless, no-nonsense Texas mom who married young for all the wrong reasons.”

Earlier this year, the cast confirmed production for the second season was underway while sharing some footage from the first table read.

“You guys we have some amazing stuff for you this season can’t wait for you to see it,” Emmy Raver-Lampman said at the beginning.

We then proceeded to see the whole gang, finishing with Justin H. Min, who plays Ben Hargreeves, sharing a few words.

“You know who’s back? Ben is back. That’s right you guys. We are so excited to finally have the family back together to start shooting season two of Umbrella Academy,” Min said.
