About The Umbrella Academy

It was created by Gabriel Bá and Gerard Way. Sound familiar?

The latter was the lead singer of the popular emo band My Chemical Romance! Who knew that he’d go on to create comics…

The Umbrella Academy was published by Dark Horse comics, the same people that brought us Hellboy.

The Umbrella Academy: Netflix Release Date

The Umbrella Academy Netflix release date will be on Friday, February 15, 2019.

It looks like they’ll be dropping the whole first season, so a post-Valentine’s Day binge is definitely on the cards.

The Umbrella Academy Netflix: Plot

Estranged siblings reunite after the death of their father to help save the world. Oh, did we mention they have superpowers?

Netflix has a good few superhero series to their name, but with the help of some familiar faces, this should be another success.

The Umbrella Academy Netflix: Characters and Cast

There are some good up-and-comers set to wow us when The Umbrella Academy Netflix release date rolls around on Friday (February 15th).

Aidan Gallagher has come from small Nickelodeon shows, but he’s ready to prove himself as Number Five.

Then we have Spaceboy, played by Tom Hopper, who you may know as Dickon Tarley in Game of Thrones.

Robert Sheehan stars as Klaus, who you may remember as Nathan from Misfits.

David Castañeda is The Kraken. You may remember him from Sicario: Day of the Soldado; he played Hector.

Emmy Raver-Lampman is The Rumor. She’s certainly an up-and-comer you don’t want to miss out on.

However, you’ll definitely recognise the likes of Ellen Page as Vanya. She has been in Juno, Inception and will star as The White Violin.

The Umbrella Academy Netflix: Season Two

Unfortunately, there’s no news on The Umbrella Academy Netflix release date for season two yet.

If it turns out to be the success many anticipate, then news of a second season should be incoming.
