Last year, we learned Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá’s Dark Horse comic, The Umbrella Academy, was being adapted as a live-action series on Netflix. But while we’ve seen the cast grow since then, we haven’t been treated to an official look at the show.

However, with Comic-Con fever in full effect, Netflix has released the first image for the show’s principal cast which includes Tom Hopper as Luther, David Castaneda as Diego, Emmy Raver-Lampman as Allison, Ellen Page as Vanya, Robert Sheehan as Klaus, and Aidan Gallagher as Number Five.

The popular Dark Horse series is set in an alternate history where JFK was never assassinated and follows a dysfunctional family of superheroes as they struggle to solve their father’s murder.

Umbrella Academy will be written by Jeremy Slater (The Exorcist) and has Steve Blackman (Fargo, Altered Carbon) attached as showrunner.

Awful comic, but this project has some talented people behind it. I might check this out to see if they can turn it into something interesting.

Scared the [frick] outta me.

Pardon my ignorance, I know nothing of Umbrella Academy, I'm assuming there's a reason why there isn't a number 6, but I don't know what it is.

@Prork - 6 is dead by the time the story begins.

Love the comic and I can't wait for the show. I don't love this picture though.

I don't mind the race change for The Rumor. I wished they kept her hair style closer to her comic counterpart, though. I really enjoyed Domino in DP2, but this seems to be the SAME exact look, but underwhelming. That short purple cut of hers I think could've leant to a mood closer to the comic that I'm not feeling here. Super excited nonetheless.

This comic was way to weird for me, but I hope it’s good.
