Netflix has shared a new video featuring the stars of The Umbrella Academy announcing that Season 3 has wrapped production and hyping the upcoming episodes.Posted on Twitter, the video kicks off with Vanya Hargreeves actor Elliot Page saying he's "stoked 'cause I can't wait for you to see it and sad because I'll miss everybody." Tom Hopper (Luther) then shares his own excitement, while David Castañeda (Diego) cracks a joke about hot dogs. Robert Sheehan (Klaus) and Aidan Gallagher (Number Five) then share their thoughts, followed by Emmy Raver-Lampman (Allison), who says, "Wow. I don't think the world's ready for this. I think it's our best season yet."
The video wraps up with messages from Ben actor Justin H. Min, Colm Feore in his full Reginald Hargreaves outfit, and finally, Ritu Arya, who plays Lila Pitts on the show.
Page kicked off production back in February with the first image from the set of Umbrella Academy Season 3, set to pick up after the events of the time-traveling Season 2, which seems to have changed the Hargreeves' world in drastic ways. While the official logo on social media for Season 3 is a simple "3" with an umbrella as the top (as seen above), the image Page shared showed a different logo with a sparrow atop an umbrella.
In Season 2 of the hit Netflix series, the Hargreeves children were scattered across the 1960s following the reveal of Vanya's powers at the end of Season 1. Split up, they had to survive until Five brought them together to ensure that the Kennedy assassination occurred. The Season 2 finale saw them return to what they thought was their original timeline, but they quickly discovered the mysterious Sparrow Academy, led by an emo version of a now-living Ben, in their place.
In June, Netflix revealed the Umbrella Academy Season 3 episode titles. The first episode, titled "Meet the Family," seems to unsurprisingly indicate that the season will kick off by spotlighting the Sparrow Academy. Even in the comic book source material, little is known about the Sparrows. But back in January, the cast members playing the Sparrow Academy were announced, along with some details about the powers and characteristics of the characters, which will deviate from the already scant source material.
Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy does not yet have a release date. Seasons 1 and 2 are now streaming on Netflix.
