Will Number 8 be in The Umbrella Academy season 2?
WARNING: This article contains spoilers from The Umbrella Academy.
The Umbrella Academy season two spoilers are being kept well under wraps but one fan’s theory suggests Number Eight could appear.
Netflix viewers were told there were 36 other children born on the same day as the seven which make up the Academy.
None of the 36 appear in the Netflix series but one fan has spotted a hint at an eighth member in the Gerard Way-written comic books.
HOW DID BEN DIE ON THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY?
Taking to online forum Reddit, one The Umbrella Academy fan wrote: “As for the children, Reginald could only locate seven of them.”
The fan’s theory continues: “I think an eighth one was hinted at in volume three.
“And (they) play a bigger role in volume three currently being made.”
Therefore, should season two of The Umbrella Academy draw influence from volume two of the comics, there is a possibility Number Eight may appear.
Other potential spoilers to emerge prior to The Umbrella Academy’s renewal include a possible time jump and the return of Cha Cha (Mary J Blige).

Who will star in The Umbrella Academy season 2?
Should Netflix confirm the series’ return, it’s likely all seven members of the Academy will appear back on-screen in the cast.
Allison, Klaus, Luther (Tom Hopper), Diego (David Castaneda), Number Five (Aidan Gallagher), Ben (Justin H Min), and Vanya (Ellen Page) all star in every episode.
Ben, AKA Number Six, stars despite the character’s death prior to when the series is set.
Number Six would appear as a result of Klaus’ interactions with the dead, similar to his boyfriend Dave (Cody Ray Thompson) did.
The Umbrella Academy’s mom, Grace (Jordan Claire Robbins), unfortunately, seemed to die in the season finale.
However, Reginald Hargreeves programmed her to be indestructible as a result of Vanya’s lethal powers, so she may return.
