Season 2 of Netflix's The Umbrella Academy is getting in on the trend made popular by The Mandalorian, Sonic the Hedgehog and even Planters by introducing an adorable baby version of a beloved character."It’s dangerous to go alone, here’s a baby Pogo to get you through the week," Netflix tweeted, along with a picture of a very young Pogo.
Voiced by Adam Godley in the Netflix series, Pogo is a highly intelligent chimpanzee who served as Reginald Hargreeves' assistant. The character was killed in Season 1 when he was impaled by a pair of decorative antlers, but judging by this image and the below synopsis, it stands to reason that the Hargreeves children will encounter his younger self during their blast to the past.
Five warned his family (so, so many times) that using his powers to escape from Vanya’s 2019 apocalypse was risky. Well, he was right - the time jump scatters the siblings in time in and around Dallas, Texas. Over a three year period. Starting in 1960. Some, having been stuck in the past for years, have built lives and moved on, certain they’re the only ones who survived. Five is the last to land, smack dab in the middle of a nuclear doomsday, which - spoiler alert! - turns out is a result of the group’s disruption of the timeline (déjà vu, anyone?). Now the Umbrella Academy must find a way to reunite, figure out what caused doomsday, put a stop to it, and return to the present timeline to stop that other apocalypse. All while being hunted by a trio of ruthless Swedish assassins. But seriously, no pressure or anything.
The Umbrella Academy stars Ellen Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher and Justin H. Min. Season 2 arrives on Netflix July 31.
