It was just announced that “The Umbrella Academy” gets a season three debut June 22 on Netflix. While Season 2 took place in 1963 and involved the JFK assassination, the upcoming season returns to a modern timeline, but once that’s altered, our group of heroes face off against the evil Sparrow Academy. The Hotel Oblivion, a prison for super-villains founded by Umbrellas’ founder Reginald Hargreeves, also factors heavily into the season.
