Umbrella Academy Season 3 New Cast
Season 3 will feature Euphoria’s Javon Walton, who joins the cast in March 2022. To my knowledge, Javon Walton has been cast in Umbrella Academy Season 3 — and I’m delighted to announce that it is so!!” Netflix’s official account sent out the message. It’s still unclear who Walton will play for and how he’ll fit into the team’s plans for the season.
The new Sparrow Academy from the parallel dimension the Umbrella Academy landed in at the end of Season 2 has also been introduced as a cast member for Season 3. Alphonso will be played by Jake Epstein (Degrassi: The Next Generation), Marcus by Justin Cromwell (I Am the Night), Fei by Britne Oldford (Hunters), Sloane by Genesis Rodriguez (Time After Time), and Jayme by Cazzie David. In addition, a “existential dread-inducing-psykronium cube” has been cast as Christopher, one of the Sparrows, according to Netflix. One description of Christopher reads as follows: He’s a “unknown origin” telekinetic cube. I was paralysed by his terror and the frigidity of that place. That’s going to be a lot of fun.
Ben, the leader of the Sparrows, will be played by Justin H. Min in this alternate dimension.

Min as Ben, Ritu Arya as Lila, and Colm Feore as Sir Reginald.

Will There be Umbrella Academy Season 4?
Netflix hasn’t confirmed whether or not The Umbrella Academy will return for a second season at this point. There is still plenty of material for the TV adaptation to draw from because My Chemical Romance lead singer Gerard Way (who also created the comic book series on which the programme is based) has already hinted that he aims to write eight volumes.
