Deadline brings word that Rita Arya (Humans), Yusuf Gatewood (Good Omens), and Marin Ireland (Y: The Last Man) have joined the cast of Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy for the superhero series’ second season.
Seven are adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves, a billionaire industrialist, who creates The Umbrella Academy and prepares his “children” to save the world.
Gatewood will play Raymond, a born leader with the smarts, gravitas, and the confidence to never have to prove it to anyone.
Arya will play Lila, a chameleon who can be as brilliant or as clinically insane as the situation requires.
