On one day in 1989, 43 infants are inexplicably born to random, unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Seven are adopted by billionaire industrialist Sir Reginald Hargreeves, who creates the Umbrella Academy and prepares his "children" to save the world. In their teenage years, though, the family fractures and the team disbands. Fast forward to the present time, when the six surviving members of the clan reunite upon the news of Hargreeves' passing. They work together to solve a mystery surrounding their father's death, but divergent personalities and abilities again pull the estranged family apart, and a global apocalypse is another imminent threat. The series is based on a collection of comics and graphic novels created and written by My Chemical Romance lead singer Gerard Way.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Umbrella Academy unfurls a bit beyond a manageable scope in this overstuffed season, but there remains all the gonzo creativity and resonant character relationships that fans enroll for.

Carlos A @RT66581639 4 days ago I haven't seen this show in about 6 years so since I bought Netflix because of an anime I'm watching is having a 2nd season so why not? I haven't seen The Umbrella Academy season 3. Furthermore, I know a bit of it ben is now part of the Sparrow Academy. That's all I know the moment i watched it. What the fuck? I knew some plot points knowingly i haven't watched the show. I knew the old man was Harlan. As someone who is neurodivergent. I mean, it's explanatory. I loved however Vanya turning into Viktor. As a trans man myself, I love it not pushing it on them but just accepting it. And those cute moments of them accepting him, but the characters died too fast instead of meeting them and learning about their backstory. More development? NOPE. BOOM. DEAD. Luther's lover all we know is she floats and she's hot. That's it. Allison was a horrible person throughout. This season, and that isn't like her the most horrible thing was she killed a disabled person which that wasn't like her at all. See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 14, 2026 This third season suffers a sharp decline, demonstrating that the series' eccentric formula has finally begun to run its course. The script is very drawn out and confusing, getting lost in a tangle of absurd timelines, meaningless paradoxes, and empty subplots that test the viewer's patience. Although the family dynamic and the actors' charisma still guarantee some fun moments, the narrative visibly goes in circles and refuses to move forward with the main story, resulting in a tiring, repetitive, and directionless year. See more Ass Eater T @Supernaturalll May 5, 2026 Spoilers kinda. This season was like bland for me. Hated the sparrows and what they did to Ben. Thought victors transition was fine. Hated Allison. Finally figuring out about one of Klaus's powers made me happy even tho it gets ruined in season 4. The family vibe was cool. Sloane and Luther was cute af also I liked seeing Diego with the kid. Loved seeing more of five and Klaus See more Val T @valer1e Mar 2, 2026 Disappointing snooze-fest. Struggled to finish the season. See more Muhamad Rafli Ripaldi T @Rafli34455 Dec 29, 2025 Ini namanya penghinaan terhadap agama Islam karena Lafadz Allah yang seharusnya selalu diagung-agungkan bisa-bisanya ditulis dilantai mau bagaimanapun juga ini adalah film yang sangat buruk sekali, sekali lagi ini adalah film yang mengandung penghinaan terhadap agama Islam See more RyanHUG Y @Bryllian Dec 17, 2025 The film doesn't even respect religion, as seen in the film 'kafir' without religion. I suggest you live and die just for your film, and I will hold you accountable for everything you do. See more Read all reviews
