The end of the second season of The Umbrella Academy left us with the launch of an alternative 2019 that included a very lively Sir Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore) and someone who was apparently Ben (Justin H. Min). We also saw five people – including a floating cube who called themselves the Sparrow Academy. This new mysterious group of children are not necessarily doubles from the original Umbrella Academy, but it may just be so.
Netflix has introduced the actors that will form the Sparrow Academy, which was founded in these alternatives 2019 by Hargreeves. In addition to Min, Justin Cornwell, Britne Oldford, Genesis Rodriguez, Cazzie David, Jake Epstein and a well-known actor known for his greatness as “Existential Dread Inducing Psychronium Cube” will join The Umbrella Academy as this new furry crew with extraordinary abilities. They join Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Ritu Arya and Adam Godley to repeat their roles. Production of the third season of ten episodes begins in February in Toronto.
