About “The Umbrella Academy”
The Hargreeves siblings have scattered after the climactic showdown at the Hotel Oblivion led to a complete reset of their timeline. Stripped of their powers, each sibling is left to fend for themselves and find a new normal — with wildly varying degrees of success. However, the trappings of their uncanny new world prove too hard to ignore for long. Their father, Reginald, alive and well, has stepped out of the shadows and into the public eye, overseeing a powerful and nefarious business empire. A mysterious association known as The Keepers holds clandestine meetings, believing the reality they’re living in is a lie and a great reckoning is coming. As these strange new forces conspire around them, the Umbrella Academy must come together one last time to risk upsetting the shaky peace they’ve all endured so much to secure, and finally set things right.
