The Umbrella Academy Season 2 finale concluded with the surviving Hargreeves siblings namely Luther essayed by Tom Cooper, Diego essayed by David Castenega, Allison essayed by Emmy Laver Rampman, Klaus essayed by Robert Sheahan, Number Five essayed by Aiden Gallagher and Vanya essayed by Ellen Page making their way back to their own time but it was not exactly how they had expected. The apocalypse from the Season 1 ending has been successfully prevented but the siblings see some drastic changes in their own world.

For once, their adoptive father Sir Reginald Hargreeves essayed by Colm Feore is alive once again. The siblings also find themselves face to face with their brother Ben essayed by Justin Min who is now surrounded by six shadowy figures called the 'The Sparrow Academy.' Now, this ending has been deemed quite similar to the ending of the comic series, The Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion.

The showrunner of The Umbrella Academy Steve Blackman revealed to Entertainment Weekly that he had a similar idea to be executed during the first season itself.
