If you’re not familiar with The Umbrella Academy, it’s the story of seven superpowered siblings who are brought together by an eccentric inventor, created by My Chemical Romance front man Gerard Way. The story begins with a strange event–43 children are born to mothers who seemingly weren’t pregnant until the moment they went into labor. Inventor Reginald Hargreeves sets out to find as many of the kids as he can, and ends up adopting seven of them, turning them into the titular Umbrella Academy. After a childhood of training their powers, the story picks up with the group 10 years after they’ve disbanded, with Hargreeves’ unexpected death.
It remains to be seen if Netflix will adapt any of the existing spin-off comics or create a brand-new story set in The Umbrella Academy universe. If Netflix does move forward with a spin-off, the streamer would also have to decide whether Umbrella Academy showrunner Steve Blackman would be involved. Blackman was recently accused of creating a toxic work environment. He has denied the accusations, which included allegations of bullying and making sexist comments.
