From Seventeen

  • Gerard Way made a special announcement that he is working on a fourth comic book volume for The Umbrella Academy.

  • Volume three of the comic book series was released 10 years after the second volume was released.

  • The Umbrella Academy TV series is currently filming season 2.

While The Umbrella Academy fans will have to wait a bit longer to finally see what happens after the end of season two, series creator and My Chemical Romance frontman, Gerard Way, just made a HUGE announcement that will certainly make any fan proud.

The third volume of The Umbrella Academy comic series is now available and Gerard celebrated the big day with a cute Instagram message for the fans.

"This one was a long time in the making. Announced way back in 2009, a lot of things happened in between the announcement and the actual release of this, for @gabriel_ba and myself. Lots of life stuff, other projects, emotional growth and experience gained," he wrote about volume three. "Over the years, there were some false starts and every time I came back to the project I had to make it new for myself, fine-tuning the themes and characters. I am very happy with the results and hope you enjoy it if you plan on checking it out."

Of course, he couldn't just end there and he ended up not only giving shoutouts to the incredible comic book team, he also announced that there is more to come!

"Coincidentally, I just started Volume 4, so hopefully it won’t be too long before a new issue hits the stands, seeing as how this volume ends on a major cliffhanger. Art by @gabriel_ba, Colors by @nick_filardi, lettering by @natepiekos, and written by me."

Since the show's first season follows what happens during the first volume, Apocalypse Suite, there's a good chance that this means the show will have at least four seasons, if it continues to do well and gets renewed.

Season two is set to follow the second volume in the series, Dallas, which shows what happens to the members of the Umbrella Academy after they stopped the apocalypse. Netflix has yet to set a release date, but it will definitely be worth the wait!
