THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY Still Hasn't Been Renewed For Season 3 According To Showrunner Steve Blackman

The Umbrella Academy arrived on Netflix last Friday to positive reviews, but showrunner Steve Blackman has confirmed that, as of this moment, the streaming service hasn't ordered a season three!

The Umbrella Academy season 2 picks up where season 1 left off, revealing what happened to the Hargreeves family after Five sent them back in time to the 1960s. There are also some intriguing new additions to the Netflix series, like the mysterious Lila, and reviews have been extremely positive thus far.

This season once again ends with a massive cliffhanger, and a season 3 appears to be an inevitability. 

Unfortunately, showrunner Steve Blackman confirmed to TV critic Alex Zalben at the TV Critic's Association Virtual Press Tour that Netflix has yet to renew the popular series for another year. This means active production hasn't begun on more episodes, so the wait for another season could prove to be a long one.

It would be a terrible shame for The Umbrella Academy to end now, but Netflix is no doubt waiting to get in those all-important viewership numbers to make sure a third year is worth it. The streamer has never shied away from culling shows that don't work, even if that means they don't get a proper ending.

I’m sure it’ll get renewed at some point in the near future...I actually preferred the second season to the first...All the characters received a fair dose of growth which is always a good thing in these types of massive world building shows...

Really good show. Couple big surprises at the end, so I hope there is a season 3 to answer those questions. Great acting and really good special effects.

Most Netflix shows don't get a renewal order for about 2 or 3 months after release so why would they expect a renewal confirmation after less than a week?

It'll get renewed for sure, but don't plan on seeing it on Netflix until like October 2021 or later, thanks COVID 19.

It was an improvement from season one which is logical seeing as the groundwork of establishing a family of characters was season one. Page seems off though, unemotional aside from screaming

Great show and season 2 was even better than season 1. Acting is superb, effects are high quality and the soundtrack is phenomenal. I'm sure it will be renewed for at least third season.

I actually thought season 1 was overall better than S2. The latter had a strong strat but sorta came undone and all over the place towards the end

Started watching season 2 but then Doom Patrol season 1 blu-ray came in the post.

Seen 8 or 9 episodes of season 1,Doom Patrol is really good,I think at the moment Swamp Thing was better.
