The Umbrella Academy season 3 plot

Look away now if you want to avoid spoliers for seasons 1 and 2.

Having saved the world from the apocalypse (again), the Academy members managed to return to 2019 only to find themselves in a different timeline.

The Umbrella Academy is now the Sparrow Academy, Reginald Hargraves is still alive, as is Ben, and there are a new band of superpowered students. Will the originals want to return to their own timeline, or is this their new home? We find out this season as it borrows some of the storyline from the Hotel Oblivion arc in the comic books.

The first TV episode is called "Meet the Family", which gives you a brief clue as to what to expect.

The entire original cast returns, including Elliott Page as Vanya, and the superb Robert Sheehan as Klaus, while an all-new collection of actors make up the roles of the Sparrow Academy children.
