The Umbrella Academy: Check out the full trailer for the highly anticipated Netflix adaptation!
The full-length trailer for Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy promises an exciting take on the comic book series.
While the Netflix/Marvel partnership seems to be coming to an end, the streaming service is introducing an exciting new superhero show to their roster. The Umbrella Academy hits Netflix next month and the new trailer looks like it’ll be one of the big hits of 2019. With an all-star cast and a compelling premise, Netflix might have found the perfect series to fill the void left by the Marvel Universe.
Warning: Minor spoilers below for The Umbrella Academy comics
The upcoming show is about a family of six extraordinary children adopted by a mysterious mentor, Sir Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore). In the trailer, we get a glimpse of all of the kids throughout their childhood as “The Umbrella Academy” as well as their adult lives. They’ve all reassembled with the return of Number Five (Aidan Gallagher), who claims he traveled forward into the future and was stuck there for quite a while.
However, he has more pressing concerns than his siblings’ antics. Throughout the trailer, he lets the audience know exactly what forces the family is going to have to face. Number Five’s largest concern is the end of the world, something he’s witnessed first hand due to his travels. Yet, he also says there’s a group of people desperately trying to stop his heroic antics. Those villains are none other than Cha-Cha (Mary J. Blige) and Hazel (Cameron Britton), two murderous assassins donning cartoon animal masks.
Based on the footage, it looks like the show will be combining elements from the two story arcs in the comics: Apocalypse Suite and Dallas. It’s an interesting decision because the series could have extended each volume into its own season.

Nonetheless, fans of the comics will be excited by how similar a lot of the characters appear to their print counterparts. The only character who looks notably different is Vanya Hargeeves (Ellen Page) or Number Seven. Looking at the trailer, it appears like she’ll be spending a lot more time with her family than she initially did in the comics. Nevertheless, we’re excited to see how the series handles her arc and the White Violin.
