Exclusive: Tom Hopper & Robert Sheehan talk The Umbrella Academy Season 3
Currently playing on Netflix is the third season of The Umbrella Academy, starring Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H. Min, Colm Feore, Ritu Arya, Justin Cornwell, Britne Oldford, Jake Epstein, Genesis Rodriguez, Cazzie David, Javon ‘Wanna’ Walton, and Jordan Claire Robbins.
After putting a stop to 1963’s doomsday, the Umbrella Academy return home to the present, convinced they prevented the initial apocalypse and fixed this godforsaken timeline once and for all. But after a brief moment of celebration, they realize things aren’t exactly (okay, not at all) how they left them. Enter the Sparrow Academy. Smart, stylish, and about as warm as a sea of icebergs, the Sparrows immediately clash with the Umbrellas in a violent face-off that turns out to be the least of everyone’s concerns. Navigating challenges, losses, and surprises of their own – and dealing with an unidentified destructive entity wreaking havoc in the Universe (something they may have caused) — now all they need to do is convince Dad’s new and possibly better family to help them put right what their arrival made wrong. Will they find a way back to their pre-apocalyptic lives? Or is this new world about to reveal more than just a hiccup in the timeline?
Executive producer by Steve Blackman, who is also the showrunner, Blackfilmandtv.com caught up with Tom Hopper, who plays Luther Hargreeves & Robert Sheehan (Klaus Hargreeves) as they talk about what to expect in Season 3. Hopper was last seen in Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, while Sheehan appeared in Netflix’s sci-fi series The Last Bus.
