The Umbrella Academy is the Netflix original TV series based on the Dark Horse Comics franchise of the same name by Gerard Way and Garbriel Ba.
The TV series finds the adult members of a super team / adopted family reuniting after years of estrangement due to their father's mysterious death. Drawing from tropes found in comics like X-Men, the father in this case is Sir Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore) a wealthy industrialist who adopted seven children, who were born under bizarre circumstances and each of whom has a super-human ability. Vanya (Elliot Page), Luther (Tom Hopper), Diego (David Castaneda), Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman), Klaus (Robert Sheehan), Number Five (Aidan Gallagher) and Ben (Justin H. Min) are the children who live and train at the Umbrella Academy. They are cared for by their "mother" Grace (Jordan Claire Robbins) and the family butler Pogo (Adam Godley) an intelligent chimpanzee.
The show was met with positive critical reaction and was one of the most-watched series on Netflix in 2019.
In season two of The Umbrella Academy, the Hargreeves siblings have been propelled back in time where each as established a new life. However, Five has some bad news: they've brought the end of the world with them. Now they're in 1963 just days before the apocalypse and the assassination of the U.S. President.
The Umbrella Academy has added three major comedic cast members -- Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally and David Cross -- to the season four roster.
