The Umbrella Academy [1] season three is quickly coming together, and there are a handful of new faces coming along for the ride. On Monday, Netflix unveiled the six actors — and one existential-dread-inducing psykronium cube — who would be making up the new Sparrow Academy. While Justin H. Min will be playing a new version of Ben, there are some well-known actors playing his gifted brothers and sisters, including Justin Cornwell from Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey and Jake Epstein from Degrassi.
Season two, which premiered in July 2020, ends on quite a cliffhanger [2], with the Umbrella Academy [3] travelling back to the future to find that they have completely altered the present. Not only are Ben and their father Reginald Hargreeves alive, but the Umbrella Academy [4] has also been replaced with a new superhero group called the Sparrow Academy [5]. The new season will consist of 10 episodes and is expected to start production in Toronto in February. See the cast list ahead.
