The Umbrella Academy DoP Shares Day 1 Chair Shot, Season 3 Update

So it's been about three weeks since we last checked in with Netflix's The Umbrella Academy to see how things were progressing with production on the third season, and it appears things have been pretty uneventful from the outside looking in. We're guessing if you're a show in production, that's exactly the kind of place you want to be in (no self-inflicted public relations or spoiler nightmares). Now we're getting a brief but important update from director of photography Craig Wrobleski, who checked in via Instagram to jump on the bandwagon Emmy Raver-Lampman started on social media where the cast and crew post images of their set chairs- along with a note about filming.

Accompanying the image was the caption, "Wrapped up my first official day of shooting on season 3 of Umbrella Academy. Great to be back in the UA family and continuing the tradition of day 1 chair shots!". Here's a look at Wrobleski's post- definitely a good sign and hopefully the first of many more to come:

With production now underway, viewers were introduced to who Min's Ben has been spending a lot of altered-reality time with before the rest of the Hargreeves made their return to what they thought was their timeline. It wasn't. And that's when viewers got a brief look at Ben's new siblings: The Sparrow Academy, with Cornwell, Oldford, Rodriguez, David, Epstein, and Cube set to join the series as our fam's new fam- kinda. As you'll see from the character descriptions below, the table's been set for some serious family dysfunction. Now here's a look back at the other half of what we're sure will be a double-dose of family dysfunction when the third season debuts- The Sparrow Academy: Justin Cornwell, Britne Oldford, Genesis Rodriguez, Cazzie David, Jake Epstein, and Existential Dread Inducing Psykronium Cube.

Justin Cornwell (No. 1) is a natural-born leader that oozes confidence and keeps the family together who is equally as charming as he is chiseled and colossus.

Justin Min's Ben (No. 2) is not the one we know. This Ben is scheming, tactical, and vicious, determined to gain his status as the leader.

Britne Oldford's Fei (No. 3) sees the world in a special way. She's typically the smartest person in the room and willing to negotiate – yet, once you cross her, there's no turning back.

Jake Epstein's Alphonso (No. 4) is a scarred crime-fighter with a caustic and biting sense of humor who enjoys verbally berating his enemies, almost as much as he enjoys a good pizza and a six-pack of beer.

Genesis Rodriguez's Sloane (No. 5) is a romantic dreamer eager to see the world beyond the academy. Even though she feels tied down to her family, Sloane has plans of her own…and she may just act on them.

Cazzie David's Jayme (No. 6) is a loner with a fear-inducing snarl you'd be wise to avoid at all costs. She doesn't say much because she doesn't have to.

Existential Dread Inducing Psykronium Cube's Christopher (No. 7) is a telekinetic cube that can turn the room freezing cold and induce paralyzing fear without so much of a warning. The trustworthy, loyal oracle of the Sparrows is treated as just another sibling.
