The streaming service wants to make sure that there's going to be an audience if they renew it. Also, based on how season 2 ended, it seems like the team behind the series has high hopes of it being renewed. We could expect the renewal announcement within the next few months.
As for the possible release date of The Umbrella Academy season 3, nothing is certain at the moment. The second installment took more than a year to arrive on Netflix and, it the case of the potential third installment, the wait might be longer than that.
Due to the current global health crisis, a lot of TV and movie productions have been put on hold. Filming for the new season may not start anytime soon if ever the platform does renew it. Everything all depends on the situation and The Umbrella Academy season 3 could arrive in 2022 at the earliest.
Based on the comic book series of the same name by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá, the series follows the Hargreeves, a dysfunctional family of adopted siblings and superheroes. The story starts after 43 women around the world gave birth at the same time on October 1, 1989.
The biggest mystery here is none of these women were pregnant when the day began, and this event has caught the attention of eccentric billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves. He adopted some of those babies and got the seven of them.
Reginald started training these children and formed a superhero team called "The Umbrella Academy." However, he was not the best father figure and the siblings ended up parting ways. The seven reunited years later for Reginald's funeral and to stop the imminent apocalypse.
Eventually, they found out that this chaos was caused by their sister Vanya, who everyone believed was powerless. To save themselves from the end of the world, Five made a major jump through space and time and took his siblings with him. But, his actions come with huge consequences. The Hargreeves landed in Dallas and they brought the apocalypse with them.
The Umbrella Academy season 3 will pick up the events that happened in the previous season and may answer some of the questions left in the story. The new season could see the sibling dealing with a new unknown timeline, where they don't have a home and different team is in action.
