Elliot Page posted his first photo from the set of The Umbrella Academy, proving Season 3 of the Netflix show is in full swing.
Page has a minimal social media presence, but they took time yesterday to share a shot from the set of The Umbrella Academy. Though the set is obscured by bright lights and a large black piece of fabric, possibly a chair back, the logo for Season 3 of the show is on full display. Along with the Umbrella Academy's logo and a superimposed "3," a sparrow can be seen perched atop the umbrella, teasing the mysterious new group the Hargreeves found in their place at the end of Season 2.
In Season 2, the Hargreeves children were stranded across the 1960s following the events of the Season 1 finale. Spread across the decade at various times, each member had to find a way to survive before Five arrived and brought them together. They then faced Swedish assassins and the Commission, all while working to ensure that the Kennedy assassination occurred. The finale saw the Hargreeves return to what they thought was their timeline, only to discover the mysterious Sparrow Academy, led by an angstier version of a living Ben Hargreeves, in their place.
Even in the comics, not much is known about the powers and history of the Sparrow Academy, helping to preserve the mystery of the group ahead of Season 3. In January, the cast members were announced who will play the Sparrow Academy, joining Justin H. Min's Ben. Along with the actors who will bring them to life, some details on the powers and characteristics of the Sparrow Academy were revealed, teasing a few of the ways things will continue to deviate from the source material.
Along with most of the main cast from Season 1 and 2, Page will once again be returning for the show, playing Vanya Hargreaves, whose character has gone from seemingly powerless to possibly the strongest individual on the planet. Last year, Page came out as transgender and began using he/him and they/them pronouns. After years as a queer activist, Season 2 of the series saw Vanya herself explore her queerness while stuck in the '60s.
Based on the comic series of the same name by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá, The Umbrella Academy stars Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher and Justin H. Min, with Ritu Arya, Yusuf Gatewood, Marin Ireland, Jordan Claire Robbins, Kate Walsh and Colm Feore. Seasons 1 and 2 are now streaming on Netflix.
