Alright students, it s time for a roll call. In season 3 of Netflix s
The Umbrella Academy, the adopted Hargreeves siblings won t be the only group of superpowered students around anymore. As we saw in the final moments of season 3, when the Umbrella Academy returned to the present after stopping a nuclear war in 60s Dallas, they found there was a new academy in town: The Sparrow Academy.
Aside from Ben (Justin H. Min), the Hargreeves long-dead sibling who is apparently alive again in this new timeline and sporting an evil-looking mustache as part of the Sparrow Academy, the other newcomers were shrouded in shadow. But on Monday, Netflix unveiled the new cast members who will be filling out the Sparrow ranks.

The second season of Netflix’s
Umbrella Academy ended not only with a dramatic confrontation (naturally), but with a game-changing reveal. (That kind of thing tends to happen when you’ve been messing with the timeline, no?)
With season three set to start filming in Toronto next month, it’s time for teasers and reveals and casting news! The seven siblings from the first two seasons will all be back (well, mostly? sort of?), along with Ritu Arya’s Lila, but it’s time to meet the new class.
When the Hargreeves family returned to the present day, all was not as they expected it to be. It’s April 2, 2019, but Reginald Hargreeves is alive, the mansion is far from empty and it isn’t their home. The painting over the mantel is of Ben, not Five. This isn’t the Umbrella Academy.
