The series created by Steve Blackman and Jeremy Slater is based on the eponymous comic book series by Gerard Way. It follows a group of misfit superheroes fostered by billionaire Reginald Hargreeves. He believed that they could save the world when needed. The six members of The Umbrella Academy reunite after years when their father was killed in mysterious circumstances. Soon they discover that the fate of the world is at risk, and they have to save it.

It features an intriguing superhero family drama combined with elements of fantasy and SciFi.
