Yahoo News Umbrella Academy soundtrack: Every song that features in season 2 of the Netflix show
The Umbrella Academy is finally back for more, with the second series of the Netflix ambitious drama jammed full of more action and adventure straight from the get-go.
Having failed to save the world from themselves in the first series, the Hargreeves family are transported back to the 1960’s – only for events to become even more explosive.
As always, the action scenes in unconventional drama - based on the comic book series written by My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way – are soundtracked by a brilliant mix of heady cover tracks, old classics and new music, and are integral in giving The Umbrella Academy its distinct identity.
“Music is its own character on the show,” showrunner Steve Blackman told Parade. “It's fun to counterpoint a song against a scene where they shouldn’t fit together but amazingly they do.”
Here are all the songs peppered throughout the 10-part second series, including Frank Sinatra, the Backstreet Boys and Boney M….
