Happy birthday to the Hargreeves family unit and more importantly: happy altogether to us!

October i is a special twenty-four hour period for The Umbrella Academy . In the show's continuity, that is the 1989 appointment in which 43 women across the globe suddenly gave nascence despite showing no previous signs of pregnancy. Esteemed industrialist Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feorge) tracked down vii of these children with special abilities, adopted them, and formed law-breaking-fighting family unit "The Umbrella Academy."

The date has become a sort of unofficial birthday for fans. Thankfully, Netflix is on the ball and set up to celebrate! The streamer behind the superhero hit stealthily unveiled some exciting news involving The Umbrella Academy season 3. Starting at 12:01 a.m. PT, fans who accessed the "Trailers and More" portion of The Umbrella Academy page on Netflix's site were greeted with a message. Yous can check information technology out in its entirety below.

This teaser confirms ii large bits of information. The start is that The Umbrella Academy season 3 will make it sometime in 2022. Given that filming has already wrapped, information technology's a proficient bet that fans won't fifty-fifty have to await too long into 2022. Additionally, this teaser reveals that season 3 will characteristic Hotel Oblivion.

The phrase "Hotel Oblivion" volition strike a major concierge bell for fans of Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá's original comic upon which The Umbrella Academy Television set series is based. Hotel Oblivion is the name of the third volume in the series (the first is "Apocalypse Suite" and the second is "Dallas", both of which roughly stand for to flavour ane and flavor 2, respectively). Hotel Oblivion refers to a metaphysical hotel on the outskirts of reality in which Reginald Hargreeves imprisons all the supervillains that The Umbrella University defeats, making information technology the team'due south equivalent to Arkham Asylum for Batman or The Raft for Due south.H.I.Eastward.L.D.

The Umbrella University has a vibrant rogue'south gallery in the comic series, including colorful baddies like The Murder Sorcerer, Dr. Terminal, and of course: Zombie Robot Gustave Eiffel. None of these characters have made it into the TV series nonetheless and in fact, the Hargreeves' kids don't appear to have any archnemeses at all. The only instances in which viewers take seen the Academy in their crime-fighting "prime", they were breaking up trivial offenses like banking company robberies.

Information technology's possible that the show will hastily introduce a handful of supervillains en masse to populate Hotel Oblivion. It's equally possible though that the show is interested in Hotel Oblivion equally a setting for non-carceral reasons. The dimension that holds Hotel Oblivion is quite literally off the grid, accessible only via "Zip Space" or one of Reggie Hargreeves' patented "televators." It's also populated by some truly frightful creatures from faceless bellhops to a hateful Superman-like figure called The Scientific Man. Those backdrop go far an ideal location for a supervillain prison. But it too makes it an interesting location for many other storytelling opportunities.

The Umbrella University showrunner Steve Blackman, later all, isn't afraid to tweak Way and Bá'southward comic narrative equally necessary.

"Gerard has such wonderful ideas and if they work for our storytelling, we'll use them. If not, I'll come up with my own versio. My goal is to continue equally much every bit I tin for the graphic novel fans for as long equally it works within the setting of a x-episode bear witness," Blackman told Den of Geek following flavour two.

The conclusion of The Umbrella University season 2 already made clear that the bear witness is taking a bit of a different path than the comic. The reveal of "The Sparrow University" comes directly from the end of Hotel Oblivion, arriving onscreen one season ahead of schedule.

What other goodies will season 3 hold? Gauge nosotros'll soon find out.
