TheUmbrellaAcademy showrunner Steve Blackman breaks down Season 3, from new sibling dynamics to that post-credits scene.
Editor's note: The below interview contains major spoilers for Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy.From showrunner Steve Blackman, Netflix's The Umbrella Academy has finally returned with its third season, in which the dysfunctional family of superheroes known as the Hargreeves has returned from the past to find a present that... doesn't look the same as when they initially left it.
I'm still very proud of the story told, but yes, we wanted to go up more. There were certain things we had to change because it just became impossible. It was in a very tough year for shooting. The crew and cast went above and beyond given the challenges. Even the dance at the beginning, we did via Zoom. They did choreography through Zoom in lockdown in a quarantine room for two or three weeks. Every bit of this year was a challenge.
I did want to juxtapose those two different ideas of which is really better? Ultimately, it's better to have family than to be the best superheroes in town. That's the message of the story. But you see that in some weird ways, the Sparrows are craving family desperately because they don't really have that in each other. They're just a well-oiled machine, like soldiers, but not close and not understanding anymore of each other.
BLACKMAN: Yeah, that didn't come about because of COVID. That was always in the storyline. Hargreeves is a very complex character. It is the same Hargreeves from both timelines. The difference is, in Season 3, he just didn't pick that set of kids. He picked a different set of kids.
