American superhero web series The Umbrella Academy recently dropped its second season on Netflix. The storyline of the second season was full of time travel, and it ended with Allison, Luther, Diego, Klaus, Number Five, and Vanya surviving and returning to their original timeline. The finale of season 2 mainly focused on the siblings fighting against the handler and the Commission. When the siblings travel back in time, they land in the year 2019 and realize that Sir Hargreeves and Ben are very much alive and the latter was never killed in the battle. The credits start to roll in as soon as the siblings shout.

Season 2 Finale Sets Up Platform for Potential Time Travel Plot in Season 3

According to reports, the ending of season 2 sets up a perfect platform for a time travel plot in a potential season 3. If Netflix renews The Umbrella Academy for a third season, then we might see the characters travel back in time and try to fix their futures. Since the Commission allowed the siblings to use the suitcase for time travel at the end of season 2, we might see the academy attempt using the suitcase again.

All ...
... those who have watched the second season of The Umbrella Academy will notice that Sir Reginald Hargreeves changed the timeline after the siblings traveled back in time and met him in 1963. The way he acknowledged their presence and greeted them; it was evident that he was waiting for the Academy. So, it is safe to say that Hargreeves shelving the idea of an Umbrella Academy and creating a Sparrow Academy in its place is a consequence of the six siblings interfering in his life. At the end of season 2, the Umbrella Academy failed to foil Hargreeves’ attempt to stop JFK’s assassination.

One way for the Academy to travel back in time will be to use the Televator. Going back to the story of The Umbrella Academy comics, the time-traveling machine allowed Sir Reginald Hargreeves to travel through time and space. His time travel endeavors played a significant role in the second comic book series from which the makers of the show picked up the JFK assassination storyline. If we notice carefully, a glimpse of the Televator’s designs is shown in the 1963 timeline. If the Academy successfully time travels to a period after 1963, they might get a functioning Televator.

Even if Netflix renews The Umbrella Academy for season 3, it will be long before its premiere on the online video streaming platform. Many production houses have halted filming due to the coronavirus pandemic and will only begin work once it is safe for both cast and crew.
