Netflix has revealed that season 3 of The Umbrella Academy will officially arrive in 2022 which is nearly two years after the series wrapped up its second season.
Season 3 of the series wrapped production over a month ago and while the streamer didn’t give an exact premiere date in 2022, they did reveal that the new chapter of the show will take place at the Hotel Oblivion, the name of the third volume in the source material of the graphic novel series. You can check out a fun graphic that nods to both the release timing of season 3 and Hotel Oblivion, below!
The Umbrella Academy is based on the Dark Horse Comics created and written by Gerard Way and illustrated by Gabriel Ba. The show follows a dysfunctional family of adopted sibling superheroes who reunite to solve the mystery of their father’s death and the threat of an impending apocalypse. Season two featured a time jump that scatters the siblings in time in and around Dallas. Some have been stuck in the past for years which has led them to build their own lives and move on which makes them believe they’re the only ones who survived. Soon the Umbrella Academy must find a way to reunite, figure out what caused the doomsday, and return to the present timeline to stop the other apocalypse. Complicating matters is that they’re also being hunted by a trio of ruthless Swedish assassins.
All of the series regulars are expected to return which includes Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castaneda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H. Min, Ritu Arya, and Colm Feore. The show is hoping to keep up its fantastic momentum for its third season as the show launched as the third-most watched Netflix series and Season two, released on July 31, 2020, led Nielsen’s first streaming Top 10.
