When does season 3 of The Umbrella Academy premiere?

On Sunday, March 13, 2022, The Umbrella Academy showrunner Steve Blackman announced the third season of the series is slated for a June 22 release date.

While speaking at SXSW in Texas, Blackman revealed a first-look video of the latest season.

Featured in the clip are series regulars Elliot Page, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, and Justin H Min.

Newcomers for the season include Justin Cornwell, Britne Oldford, Genesis Rodriguez, Jake Epstein, Cazzie David, and Javon “Wanna” Walton.

According to a press release from Netflix, season three focuses on the conflict between the Sparrow Academy and the Umbrella Academy.

The statement reads: “Smart, stylish, and about as warm as a sea of icebergs, the Sparrows immediately clash with the Umbrellas in a violent face-off that turns out to be the least of everyone’s concerns.”

“Navigating challenges, losses, and surprises of their own – and dealing with an unidentified destructive entity wreaking havoc in the Universe (something they may have caused) – now all they need to do is convince Dad’s new and possibly better family to help them put right what their arrival made wrong,” the statement continues.

What is The Umbrella Academy?

Based on the comic series by Gerard Way, The Umbrella Academy is a superhero television show exclusive to Netflix.

The series revolves around a family of adopted superheroes, who come together to try and understand their father’s mysterious death amid the threat of an apocalypse.

At the start of the story, various women – who were not previously pregnant – give birth around the world; all at exactly noon on October 1, 1989.

Seven of the children are adopted by billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves, who trains them as The Umbrella Academy.

Season one focuses on the present day, following the lives of the siblings as they learn of the imminent apocalypse and piece together their adoptive father’s life.
