After years of no public movement on the film adaptation, The Umbrella Academy was listed in 2015 among the properties being developed for television under a new deal between Dark Horse and Universal Cable Productions.

Filmmaker Rawson Marshal Thurber (Dodgeball, Central Intelligence), who was attached to write the film, told CBR last year that The Umbrella Academy was simply "too challenging" to adapt for the big screen. However, he hinted that a television announcement might be on the horizon. "“I don’t know if there’s much hope on the feature side for that project," Thurber teased, "but there might be hope on the television side, dot dot dot.”

According to Splash Report, The Umbrella Academy pilot will utilize the script Jeremy Slater (Fantastic Four, Death Note) wrote for Universal Cable Productions.
