The Umbrella Academy's first season leaves off on one hell of a cliffhanger, which is why we've been practically on the edge of our seats waiting for news about season two of the sci-fi series. Now it seems the cast of the show, which was renewed back in April by Netflix, is getting a little bigger — the streaming giant announced on Sept. 10 that the second season will see the introduction of three new faces to the ensemble. Wondering who's in the mix for round two, and who they're playing? Keep scrolling.

Marin Ireland as Sissy
The Y: The Last Man actress is joining the cast as a character named Sissy. According to Netflix, she'll be a "fearless, no-nonsense Texas mom who married young for all the wrong reasons. Still in her prime, she's eager to rediscover what life and love has to offer." Does that mean Sissy will find love with one of the Academy members? Hmm . . .

Ritu Arya as Lila
Ritu Arya (Humans) will play Lila in season two, who Netflix describes as "a chameleon who can be as brilliant or as clinically insane as the situation requires." Interesting, no? The streaming giant also hinted that she'd have "a twisted sense of humor," which makes us think she'll get along splendidly with Klaus.

Ellen Page as Vanya
Season one of the show concludes with the Hargreeves siblings moving past their differences and finally uniting as the superheroes their father always wanted them to be, as well as making a dangerous temporal leap to save Vanya. Luckily she'll still be in the picture, since Ellen Page is reprising her role!

Robert Sheehan as Klaus
The Misfits star goes through it in season one as the sassy, sarcastic Klaus. Will he have an easier go of it in season two? Fingers crossed.

Luther (GOT alum Tom Hopper) and his, uh, unique body will be back for season two. As for those sparks between him and Allison? Hmm . . .

David Castaneda as Diego
Yep, you can expect the knife-wielding Diego to make a repeat appearance in season two as he presumably helps his siblings solve the Vanya problem.

Poor Allison — will she ever talk again?! And what's going on with her daughter? Oh, and her relationship with Luther? Will we get some answers? Let's hope.
