It is official — the Hargreeve siblings will reside to combat one other day. Netflix has renewed The Umbrella Academy for Season 3. Meaning we will likely be getting solutions about that jaw-dropping Season 2 cliffhanger, and we’ll hopefully discover out precisely what’s up with the Sparrow Academy — the rival group of heroes assembled by Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore) within the alternate 2019 our characters returned to after stopping a second potential apocalypse in 1960s Dallas.
Ellen Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H. Min, Ritu Arya, and Colm Feore are all set to return for Season 3. Manufacturing on the 10-episode third season will start in February.
The Season 2 cliffhanger confirmed that the plot of the present will likely be diverting much more from the graphic novel that impressed the sequence. Whereas the primary two seasons had been an amalgamation of storylines from Guide 1, “Apocalypse Suite,” and Guide 2, “Dallas,” the introduction of The Sparrow Academy on the finish of Season 2 — which can be the ending of Guide 3, “Lodge Oblivion” — means followers should not count on a strict adaptation of the third graphic novel. Showrunner Steve Blackman confirmed to TV Guide in July that the tv sequence makes use of the graphic novels as a suggestion slightly than a strict map of the place to take the story, which suggests the Sparrow Academy might be as much as something!
After all, the Sparrow Academy is not the one Season 2 unfastened thread we nonetheless have questions on. We nonetheless have to find out about that mysterious floating dice within the ultimate scene of the season, how alternate-timeline Ben (Justin H. Min) is totally different from the Ben we have gotten to know over the previous two seasons, and whether or not these siblings will ever catch a freakin’ break. OK, we all know the reply to the final query is just not wanting good, which is okay, as a result of which means extra delightfully bizarre superhero enjoyable for us!
