Get ready for more of The Umbrella Academy.

After almost two years of waiting, the upcoming third season will finally hit Netflix this summer.

Though the release date is still about a month away, the good news is that we already have plenty of details about what's to come.

Following the Umbrella Academy's wild time-traveling adventure in season 2, the finale dropped a big twist with the introduction of the Sparrow Academy.

In addition to a slew of new cast members — including Justin Cornwell (Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey), Jake Epstein (Degrassi), and Cazzie David (Life & Beth) — Entertainment Weekly recently confirmed that Elliot Page's character would be coming out as transgender in season 3.

"Meet Viktor Hargreeves," Page, who came out as transgender in 2020, captioned a photo of his character from the new season. Netflix also shared the post on Twitter, writing, "Welcome to the family, Viktor — we're so happy you're here."

What will The Umbrella Academy season 3 be about?

Netflix

Netflix previously announced in a press release that season 3 will focus on the conflict between the two academies after the Umbrella Academy believes they put a stop to the 1963 apocalypse.

"Enter the Sparrow Academy. Smart, stylish, and about as warm as a sea of icebergs, the Sparrows immediately clash with the Umbrellas in a violent face-off that turns out to be the least of everyone's concerns," a logline reads. "Navigating challenges, losses, and surprises of their own — and dealing with an unidentified destructive entity wreaking havoc in the Universe (something they may have caused) — now all they need to do is convince Dad's new and possibly better family to help them put right what their arrival made wrong. Will they find a way back to their pre-apocalyptic lives? Or is this new world about to reveal more than just a hiccup in the timeline?"

Additionally, Netflix unveiled all of the season 3 episode titles in June 2021, which could offer more clues about what's to come.

The episode titles, in order, are "Meet the Family," "World's Biggest Ball of Twine," "Pocket Full of Lightning," "Kugelblitz," "Kindest Cut," "Marigold," "Auf Wiedersehen," "Wedding at the End of the World," "Six Bells," and "Oblivion."
