The Umbrella Academy: New Season 3 Images, Season 2 Recap & More
With only a little more than a week to go until Netflix's series adaptation of Gerard Way & Gabriel Ba's The Umbrella Academy hits our screens for a third season, the fine folks at the streaming service want to make sure you're as up-to-date as possible. To that end, we have two new preview images from the third season. In the first, our favorite fam appears to be doing some planning at the Hotel Obsidian. Following that, Tom Hopper's Luther & Emmy Raver-Lampman's Allison are not doing too well against their alt-timeline "siblings," the Sparrow Academy.
And if you're looking for a down-n-dirty recap of the second season but you only have three minutes to spare? Then check out the video below (and you even get to pocket 50 seconds or so):
Now here's a look back at the panel presentation from last week's Geeked Week, with the Sparrow Academy preview beginning at around the 5:00 mark:
And here's a look back at the sneak preview for Netflix's The Umbrella Academy Season 3 which was also released last week, followed by a look back at the official trailer (with the streaming series dropping on June 22nd):
After putting a stop to 1963's doomsday, the Umbrella Academy return home to the present, convinced they prevented the initial apocalypse and fixed this godforsaken timeline once and for all. But after a brief moment of celebration, they realize things aren't exactly (okay, not at all) how they left them. Enter the Sparrow Academy. 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. Will they find a way back to their pre-apocalyptic lives? Or is this new world about to reveal more than just a hiccup in the timeline?
