The first season of The Umbrella Academy proved to be a smash-hit for Netflix, as a new audience witnessed Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá’s Dark Horse Comic series come to life on the small screen. With production already underway for season two, Dark Horse is giving audiences a closer look at the show’s first season, with a behind-the-scenes book about the making of the show.
Screen Rant can exclusively announce The Making of the Umbrella Academy will be taking a deeper look into the development and production of the Netflix series. The hardcover will feature hundreds of behind-the-scenes images, as well as commentary from showrunner and executive producer Steve Blackman on how the comic was adapted for the streaming service.
The book will feature more than 200 pages of extra content about the making of the show, making the wait for the second season a bit easier to endure, with a ton of interesting details on the action behind the camera. Read on below for the description of the book straight from Dark Horse, along with the cover art:
The first season of The Umbrella Academy has us wondering what’s in store for season two of the Netflix superhero drama. Which characters could appear in season two? What shocking twists will come to the Hargreeves family next? Considering how Umbrella Academy’s first season ended, the possibilities are wide open. There are plenty of places the show can go next, but until the second season is released, The Making of the Umbrella Academy will be a nice way to jump back into the show until it starts up again.
The Umbrella Academy on Netflix reached 45 million households in the first four weeks after its release with a second season set for a 2020 release. The Making of The Umbrella Academy is a vividly designed hardcover volume exposing the idiosyncratic wit and dysfunctional dynamism of Netflix’s family of superheroic savants. Whether you’re a diehard alumnus of the comics or a freshman to the Netflix series, this fantastic tome is one you will not want to miss!
The Making of the Umbrella Academy from Dark Horse will retail for $39.99 and will go on sale July 7th, 2020, and is available through preorder at your local bookstore or comic shop.
The Umbrella Academy stars Ellen Page, Tom Hopper, David Castaneda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Mary J. Blige, Cameron Britton, John Magaro, Adam Godley, Colm Feore, and Justin H. Min. It was adapted for Netflix by Steve Blackman and Jeremy Slater. The series is produced by Borderline Entertainment, Dark Horse Entertainment, and Universal Cable Production. The release date for the second season of The Umbrella Academy has yet to be announced.
