Premise

On October 1, 1989, 43 women around the world gave birth simultaneously, despite none of them showing any sign of pregnancy until labour began. Seven of the children are adopted by eccentric billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves, and turned into a superhero team that he calls "The Umbrella Academy." Hargreeves gives the children numbers rather than names, but they eventually are named by their nanny robot-mother, Grace, as: Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Number Five (his only name), Ben, and Vanya.[1] While putting six of his children to work fighting crime, Reginald keeps Vanya apart from her siblings' activities, as she supposedly demonstrates no powers of her own.

In the present day, Luther is a part ape who lived on the moon for four years, Allison is a famous actress, Vanya is a violinist, Klaus has a drug addiction, Ben, now deceased, is a ghost able to converse only with Klaus, and Diego has become a vigilante with a penchant for trouble. The estranged siblings learn that Reginald has died and gather for his funeral. Number Five returns from the future, chased by vigilantes, and reveals that a global apocalypse is imminent. Meanwhile, the reunited siblings try to uncover the secret of their dysfunctional family while beginning to come apart due to their divergent personalities and abilities.[2]

2010"The End of Something"Jeremy WebbSteve BlackmanJuly 31, 2020 (2020-07-31)
The Academy learns that they are now wanted as terrorists for supposedly aiding in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Sensing that Harlan is in trouble, Vanya, along with the rest of the group, decides to go back to Sissy's farm to help him. The Handler arrives with an army of Commission agents, but Vanya kills them all. Lila reveals herself to have the power to mirror the powers of the Academy who realize that she is another of the forty-three children that were born on the same day and that the Handler had Five murder her parents to get Lila for herself. The siblings reveal the truth to Lila before the Handler kills everyone before being shot by the last Swedish assassin herself. Mortally wounded, Five reverses time by a few minutes and stops the Handler who is killed by the assassin who ends his hunt for the Academy while Lila escapes. Sissy breaks up with Vanya for the sake of Harlan who Vanya removes her powers from. Herb, now the leader of the Commission, allows the Academy to use a briefcase to return to 2019 while Ray receives a goodbye letter from Allison, the Swede is picked up by Klaus' cult, Dave goes off to war and Sissy heads off to a new life with Harlan who retains telekinetic abilities. In an altered 2019, the Academy discovers that Reginald is still alive and has formed the Sparrow Academy instead with a still-alive Ben as Number One, five different children and an unidentified floating green cube.

Production

Development

A film version of the comic book series The Umbrella Academy was optioned by Universal Studios. Originally, screenwriter Mark Bomback was hired to write the screenplay; Rawson Marshall Thurber reportedly replaced him in 2010.[17] There had been little talk of the film from that time. In an interview with Newsarama at the 2012 New York Comic Con, Way mentioned that there have been "good talks" and a "really good script", but that it was "kind of up to the universe".

On July 7, 2015, it was announced that The Umbrella Academy would be developed into a television series, rather than an original film, produced by Universal Cable Productions.[18] On July 11, 2017, it was officially announced that Netflix had greenlit a live-action series adaptation of The Umbrella Academy premiering in 2019, with Way and Bá acting as executive producers.[19][20] Jeremy Slater wrote the script for the pilot episode, and Steve Blackman serves as showrunner.[19] The first season of The Umbrella Academy was released on Netflix on February 15, 2019.[21][22][23]

On April 2, 2019, the series was renewed for a second season, which was released on July 31, 2020.[24][25] The season release date remained unknown until May 18, 2020, where a teaser trailer concept was released where the main cast danced to "I Think We're Alone Now" by Tiffany.[26] Steve Blackman confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that he wants to stay in the course of what the comics are doing without deviating too much.[6]

Filming

Principal photography for the first season began on January 15, 2018 in Toronto. Gerard Way posted on his Instagram account an illustration by Fabio Moon of the cast and crew doing the first table read of the script in Toronto. He also revealed a picture of the first day on the set.[27] Additional filming took place in Hamilton, Ontario.[28]

For the theatre where Vanya performed with her violin, the crew used the Elgin Theatre, alongside the Winter Garden Theatre. Mazzoleni Concert Hall was used to represent the theatre's exterior. The exterior of the mansion was filmed at a building in Hamilton, while the interiors were filmed in studio. The Joey & Toby Tanenbaum Opera Centre was filmed for an outside scene and Union (railway) Station was used for a bank robbery scene. A laboratory at the University of Toronto was filmed to represent the Meritech Prosthetics building.[28][29][30] The filming concluded on July 18, 2018.[31]

Filming for the second season began in June 2019[32] and concluded on November 23, 2019.[33]

Visual effects

Visual effects for the series are handled by SpinVFX[34] and Weta Digital, which worked only on Pogo.[35] VFX supervisor Everet Burrell confirmed that he used traditional art techniques for early concept art and referenced great actors with iconic faces.[36] Burrell called Weta Digital, who previously worked for the rebooted Planet of the Apes series, to develop the visual effects for the character of Pogo. Ken Hall provided the motion capture for Pogo using a gray suit to later make additions to his captures to create the CGI of the chimpanzee, with Adam Godley making the facial expressions and voice acting of the character.[37]

SpinVFX confirmed that they delivered at least 563 shots for the series. To make the effects of the show, the team required a series of complex effect simulations, creature development, and massive destructions.[38]

For the effects of Number Five jumping through time and space, Burrell wanted to make the effects look organic, and liquidy, representing how much time and the world bends around him when he jumps, and how quick it should be. For these effects, he used more than 30 frames in the first episodes, however with the progress of the series, this reduced to only 10 frames.[39] To that footage, the team iterated on several kinds of spatial jump effects, all the way from heavy distortion to subtler images. The visual effects team started with some R&D tests. At the end, the final effect, called the "jelly vision", was used to make the series, with Burrell expressing: "as if you're pushing your hand through a jelly membrane, just for a few seconds, and then it pops. It's really, really subtle, but you get a little bit of texture, you get a little bit of striations, almost like the universe is bending as he does his spatial jumps."[40]

In an interview with Burrell he confirmed that to develop the sequences where time is frozen, they took several background shots on location before returning to their stage to shoot the dialogue between Five and The Handler in front of a green screen. They called this effect "Three-Strip" in honor of the Technicolor process used in the 1930s.[41]

Reception

Audience viewership

On April 16, 2019, Netflix announced that the series had been streamed by over 45 million viewers on its service within its first month of release.[42][43] It was the third most popular TV series on Netflix in 2019.[44]

Critical reception

On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, 75% of 88 critic reviews are positive for the first season, with an average rating of 7.2/10. Critics' consensus on the website reads, "The Umbrella Academy unfurls an imaginative yarn with furtive emotion and an exceptionally compelling ensemble, but the series' dour sensibility often clashes with its splashy genre trappings."[45][46] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the season a score of 61 out of 100 based on 22 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[47]

Some critics pointed out similarities between The Umbrella Academy, DC Universe's Doom Patrol and Marvel Comics's X-Men series, both positively and negatively.[48][49][50][51]

For the second season, Rotten Tomatoes identified 89% of 76 reviews as positive, with an average rating of 7.83/10. The website's critical consensus states, "Proof that time can heal almost all wounds, The Umbrella Academy's exhilarating second season lightens its tonal load without losing its emotional core, giving the super siblings room to grow while doubling down on the time traveling fun."[52] The season garnered a weighted average score of 65 out of 100 from 11 critics on Metacritic, signifying "generally favorable reviews".[53]
