The Umbrella Academy is an American superhero television series based on the comic book series of the same name written by Gerard Way and illustrated by Gabriel Bá. It revolves around a dysfunctional family of former child heroes, now grown apart, who must reunite to continue to protect the world. 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 their robot-mother, Grace, later names six of them: Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Ben, and Vanya. These adopted sibling superheroes come together to solve the mystery of their father’s death and the threat of an imminent apocalypse.

The Umbrella Academy can currently be seen on Netflix.
