Fans of the popular The Umbrella Academy series can breathe easy knowing that the show will go on, as Netflix has just officially announced a third season starring the super-powered siblings.
The Umbrella Academy is back... back in time to the 1960s! But it appears that the Hargreeves gang has brought the apocalypse with them!

Prepare to meet The Umbrella Academy, your typical dysfunctional, super-powered, time-travelling family. Oh and they have a talking chimpanzee.
