The series was created by Steve Blackman for Netflix, and is being developed by Jeremy Slater and his team. The original The Umbrella Academy, a comic book series authored by Gerard Way with the same name, serves as a major inspiration for the show. So far, two seasons of the show have aired on Netflix, and fans are impatiently awaiting the release of the third.

The Umbrella Academy Season 3: Plot Expectations

According to the official season 3 synopsis, the Hargreeves will face the following challenges:

“Smart, stylish, and about as warm as a sea of icebergs, the Sparrows immediately clash with the Umbrellas in a violent face-off that turns out to be the least of everyone’s concerns. Navigating challenges, losses and surprises of their own — and dealing with an unidentified destructive entity wreaking havoc in the Universe (something they may have caused) — now all they need to do is convince Dad’s new and possibly better family to help them put right what their arrival made wrong. Will they find a way back to their pre-apocalyptic lives? Or is this new world about to reveal more than just a hiccup in the timeline?”
