Elliot Page and Emmy Raver-Lampman in The Umbrella Academy.

In the third season of The Umbrella Academy, there are more time-travel troubles and inter-dimensional shenanigans for the Hargreeves siblings. On-screen and behind-the-scenes were important parts of season three.

In late 2020, several months after the second season of Umbrella Academy ended, the star of the show came out as trans. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the amazing people who have supported me along the way. It feels amazing to finally love who I am capable of. The team behind the popular series was included.

In March of this year, fans got a first look at Page in a new role as a trans person. Even when the world is at stake, the Hargreeves siblings accept Viktor for who he is. Steve Blackman, creator of the Umbrella Academy series, said that the script for season three was already done when Page came out, but there was no hesitation when it came to making some timely rewrites with the help of both Page and McBee. Blackman said that they wanted to show that families can accept trans people in their lives and that it doesn't have to be a negative thing. I'm proud of how we did it. It came across in a way that all of us were happy about.

The third season of The Umbrella Academy is available to watch on the internet.
