Details on Walton’s character are being kept under wraps but fortunately, fans won’t have to wait too long as filming on the third season has wrapped, and the series is set to make its return later in 2022.
Based on the comic book series by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá, the third season of The Umbrella Academy is set to focus on The Umbrella Academy taking on The Sparrow Academy after the dysfunctional family changed the future to prevent doomsday in 1963 – accidentally causing an alternate timeline. The Sparrow Academy is led by Ben, played by Justin H. Min, one of the original members of the Umbrella Academy who died when he was young.
The upcoming season will feature newcomers Justin Cornwell, Britne Oldford, Jake Epstein, Genesis Rodriguez, and Cazzie David as The Sparrow Academy alongside returning stars Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, David Castaneda, Aidan Gallagher and Colm Feore. There is currently no release date for the latest season.
