While it remains unclear what role he’ll have in the upcoming season, Netflix teased his arrival to the series on social media. “I heard a rumor… that Javon Walton is joining the cast of Umbrella Academy Season 3 — and I’m happy to confirm that it is true!” the streamer’s official page posted alongside a photo of Walton.
No premiere date for The Umbrella Academy‘s return has been set yet, but viewers can expect more adventures from the eclectic family at the center of this fan-favorite series. For those unaware of The Umbrella Academy‘s premise, the show centers around the origin of 43 infants who were born to random, unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy the day before in 1989.
Years later in 2019, seven of those infants who were adopted by the billionaire who created “The Umbrella Academy” are brought together again after their father’s mysterious death. What ensues is a series of adventures that involve time travel and a not-so-successful mission to save the world.
Stay tuned to learn more about Walton’s role and Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy as Netflix releases more details.
