‘Umbrella Academy’ Season 3– First Look at The Sparrows

The Umbrella Academy has a new problem to contend with in season three– the Sparrows.

The long-awaited third season is on the way! How excited are you?

What We Know About The Umbrella Academy Season 3

Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, Emmy Raver-Lampman, David Castañeda, Aidan Gallagher, and Robert Sheehan will be returning as members of the Umbrella Academy. They will be joined by Colm Feore as Sir Reginald Hargreeves/The Monocle.

The story picks up after the gang has saved the world and left the 1960s. The 2019 they come back to isn’t the same, however. They enter the Umbrella Academy house to discover that Hargreeves has started a different group of young superheroes– the Sparrows. The entire season will take place in a mysterious place called Hotel Oblivion (which is also the title of the third TPB).

With the number of characters expanding, this is bound to be the biggest season yet. Showrunner Steve Blackman has said that this season will focus on where they came from and how they got their powers.  He spoke more about it during this summer’s Geeked Week.

“What we love is we’re doing a wilder, bigger, zanier season than ever before. I think our emotional stories between this dysfunctional family, we’re just building it up even more. There’s some very big surprises with the family this year, there’s some amazing changes that people will love to sort of dig into, and there’s a lot of growth for this family this year in a way that people are just not going to expect.”

Netflix also shared the episode titles with fans…
