The Umbrella Academy is officially coming back for Season 3 next year and we couldn’t be more excited to see all the twists and turns that Season 2 left off with, especially the mysterious Sparrow Academy. Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming season, so get excited!

Plot

At the end of Season 2, the Umbrella Academy met up with their current timeline only to find out that Ben is alive and part of the superheroes called the Sparrow Academy, which has also replaced the Umbrella Academy. Not much else has been revealed about the upcoming season, but we do know the episode title which is “The World’s Biggest Ball of Twine,” “Pocket Full of Lightning,” “Kugelblitz,” “Kindest Cut,” “Marigold,” “Auf Wiedersehen,” “Wedding at the End of the World,” “Six Bells,” and “Oblivion.”

Cast

Returning for the new season are Elliot Page, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Ritu Arya, Tom Hopper, Justin H. Min, and Aidan Gallagher. Joining the cast as the Sparrow Academy are Justin Cornwell, Britne Oldford, Genesis Rodriguez, Cazzie David, and Jake Epstein.

Release Date

Netflix revealed in a teaser on their site that the new season will be dropping in 2022. No official release date has been announced yet.

The global pandemic disrupted the production of several Netflix shows, leading to the cancelation of GLOW, I Am Not Okay with This, The Society, and many more beloved projects. After a wild cancelation streak, some of the most popular shows on this streaming platform are finally being renewed.

The Umbrella Academy

This quirky superhero show is one of Netflix’s biggest hits at the moment and renewing it was a no-brainer for the streaming giant. The last season ended with an epic cliffhanger that left fans asking for more, and Netflix recently confirmed that Season 3 is on the way.

Emily in Paris

Emily in Paris is probably one of the most polarizing new series of the year, but that’s exactly its charm. Streaming numbers are the priority for Netflix, and no matter if you’re tuning in to love-watch or hate-watch Emily’s adventures in the City of Light—you’re showing up and you’ll be there for Season 2.

Narcos: Mexico

After the original Narcos wrapped up in 2017, Netflix gave us a successful spin-off taking place in Mexico, with Diego Luna in the lead role. Season 3 is on the way with a new showrunner and Luna is not expected to return since he’ll soon start shooting the Cassian Andor series for Disney+.

Streaming services kept their viewing numbers under wraps for years, but Nielsen is here to change that. The audience measurement firm launched a weekly list of the most popular streaming shows, and the sci-fi drama The Umbrella Academy is the first series to top it.

With a total of 3 million minutes watched between August 3-9, this Netflix show was the most-watched series on streaming platforms, according to Nielsen. It was followed by Shameless and Grey’s Anatomy, while The Office came in fourth. The list also included Criminal Minds, NCIS, In the Dark, Dexter, Supernatural, and Parks and Recreation.

Nielsen’s new rating list confirmed something most of us knew already—Netflix is absolutely dominating the streaming game. All of the shows that made the cut are available on this streaming service, but The Umbrella Academy is the only Netflix original.

At this point in time, Nielsen’s ratings only include shows from Netflix and Amazon Prime, but they’re planning to add other streaming services moving forward.

We’re yet to see if this newly-launched list is going to change the TV landscape but it’s certainly a great indicator of current TV trends. At this point, it seems we’re more interested in re-watching old shows than discovering new ones—unless the show in question happens to be The Umbrella Academy.

The huge popularity of the superhero genre completely changed the pop culture landscape, but Marvel and DC are no longer the only studios leading the way. TV shows about superheroes are getting more unconventional as time goes by, and these three series are changing the game.

The Boys

Amazon’s dark comedy is a great satire of superhero movies and the way they operate, and its second season is coming our way this week. It centers around a group of corrupt superheroes controlled by a powerful corporation and vigilantes trying to take them down.

The Umbrella Academy

The Umbrella Academy follows a group of child superheroes who must reunite to save the world after their father’s death. The dynamic between the members of this dysfunctional family is the heart of the show, which feels like a darker yet more hilarious version of X-Men.

Raising Dion

Most superhero series and movies show powerful individuals teaming up and saving the world, but not Raising Dion. The titular hero of this show is still a little kid coming to terms with his superpowers with the help of his mother who’s trying to shield him from the world.

The new season of The Umbrella Academy gave us a crazy time travel plot, which made the second chapter of this show even better than the first. If you already binged-watched all the episodes, here’s a couple of time travel shows you should check out afterward.

11.22.63

Based on Stephen King’s novel of the same name, this Hulu mini-series has a much more serious tone than The Umbrella Academy, but there’s one main similarity. Both shows are set in the early ‘60s and the attempts to prevent Kennedy’s assassination are an important part of the plot.

Future Man

If you’re in the mood for something more offbeat and hilarious, check out this show about avid gamer Josh Futturman, who ends up being recruited to travel through time and prevent the extinction of humanity.

Timeless

This sci-fi show centers on an unlikely trio traveling through time in an attempt to retrieve an experimental time machine, stolen by a mysterious thief who wants to rewrite American history.

Travelers

If you’re in the mood for another Netflix show about a team of superheroes going back in time to prevent the collapse of society, this show will be your cup of tea.
