Fans of the Umbrella Academy will be happy to know that the Hargreeves siblings will be coming back to save the world one more time. Netflix has renewed the immensely popular series for a third season. The science-fiction/superhero drama debuted on Netflix in 2019 and was received with immediate success. The streaming site had reported that approximately 45 million households had watched the first season within a month of its release. The second season, which was released in July 2020, was also positively reviewed.
The series focuses on seven siblings who are not related by blood but were all born on the same day. They were born to different mothers, none of whom were pregnant before October 1st, the day the siblings were born. All seven of them are adopted by the zany billionaire Reginald Hargreeves.
