A week has gone by since The Umbrella Academy season three debuted on Netflix, and it’s already topping the streamer’s top ten list.
It’s been almost two years since the second season came out, and now that the new installment is finally here, it’s already exceeding expectations. In fact, the show recently claimed the number one spot on Netflix’s list of most-watched shows.
Based on the comic book by My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way, The Umbrella Academy follows a group of superhero siblings who reunite to solve the mystery surrounding their father’s death and stop the world apocalypse.
The third season starts with the team successfully stopping the end of the world—or so they thought. The Umbrellas soon find themselves at the hands of a new foe: the Sparrow Academy. As they face challenges, losses and surprises of their own, the superheroes must stop a destructive entity that could destroy the entire universe.
