Production begins next month in Toronto
“The Umbrella Academy” has cast the members of the Sparrow Academy for the Netflix drama’s upcoming third season, the streaming service said Monday. As fans will remember, the Sparrow Academy is a bizarro version of the Umbrella Academy, which exists in the altered timeline that the Hargreeves siblings return to in 2019 at the end of Season 2. In this version of events, Sir Reginald Hargreeves still adopted seven of the forty-three children who were all born on the same day in 1989 to a mother who had not previously shown signs of pregnancy, however all of his adoptees are different from the Umbrella Academy members — with the exception of Ben (Justin H. Min, who also plays Ben Hargreeves in the show’s original timeline).
