Netflix teases first season of ‘The Umbrella Academy’

Netflix’s adaptation of Gabriel Ba and Gerard Way’s comic book series is coming to Netflix in the new year and we got our first look through a teaser for the 10-episode first season. The Umbrella Academy will be coming to the streaming service on February 15, 2019. It tells the story of six children and their adoptive father. What’s special about them is five out of the six have superpowers. While the comics were set at the start of 1977, the series is dated at around 1989. The story remains the same, though. Spontaneous, miraculous pregnancies brought these six into the world to save it. At the same time, they learn the truth about where they came from.

The Umbrella Academy stars Ellen Page as Vanya (The White Violin); Tom Hopper as Luther (Spaceboy); David Castaneda as Diego (The Kraken); Emmy Raver-Lampman as Allison (The Rumor); Robert Sheehan as Klaus (The Seance) and Aidan Gallagher as Number Five (The Boy). Colm Feore stars as Sir Reginald Hargreeves (The Monocle).
