THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY Season 3 Starts Production
I’ve got some great news for all you fans of Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy! The third season of the superhero series is now in production! The news comes from Elliot Page, who took to Instagram to share a photo from the set.
The show was created by Steve Blackman and Jeremy Slater, and is based on the graphic novels by My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way.
The series also stars Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, and Justin H. Min as the Umbrella Academy, the adopted children of Reginald Hargreeves, who were all born on the same day to women who only became pregnant that day. They were each born with various powers, and have been working to stop the end of the world as they work through the traumas they have endured.
Season 3 will also feature another group of people who possess powers associated with their strange births on the exact same day as each other. Below you’ll find details on the new characters and the actors who will play them.
CAZZIE DAVID will play JAYME, 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.
JAKE EPSTEIN will play ALPHONSO, 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.
JUSTIN CORNWELL will play MARCUS, A natural born leader that oozes confidence and keeps the family together who is equally as charming as he is chiseled and colossus.
JUSTIN H. MIN will play BEN, but not the one we know. This Ben is scheming, tactical and vicious, determined to gain his status as leader.
BRITNE OLDFORD will play FEI, who 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.
GENESIS RODRIGUEZ will play SLOANE, 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.
EXISTENTIAL DREAD INDUCING PSYKRONIUM CUBE (Newcomer) will play CHRISTOPHER, a trustworthy, loyal telekinetic cube that can turn the room freezing cold and induce paralyzing fear without so much of a warning.
This is going to be a fun and crazy season!
