The Umbrella Academy season 3 release date and cast on Netflix

First debuting in 2019, The Umbrella Academy on Netflix has since scooped up a number of accolades, including six Emmy nominations. The streaming service also revealed that 45 million households had watched season one during its first month of release, becoming one of the most streamed series of that year in the process.

Almost two years after the second season’s conclusion, the much-loved series will finally return for its latest 10-episode run, commencing with episode one’s Meet the Family. It is based on the comic book series of the same name, written by Gerard Way and illustrated by Gabriel Bá.

The overarching plot revolves around a group of former child heroes who are adopted and become a dysfunctional family. The siblings reunite years later following their father’s death and they must work together to halt the threat of an imminent apocalypse.

Challenges, losses, and surprises have to be navigated by the academy, all while simultaneously dealing with an “unidentified destructive entity wreaking havoc”.
