Originally, screenwriter Mark Bomback was hired to write the screenplay ; Rawson Marshall Thurber reportedly replaced him in 2010. There has been little talk of the film since, and no release date has been set. In an interview with Newsarama at the 2012 New York Comic Con, Way mentioned that there have been `` good talks '' and a `` really good script '', but that it was `` kind of up to the universe ''. On July 7, 2015, it was announced that The Umbrella Academy would be developed into a television series, rather than an original film, produced by Universal Cable Productions. On July 11, 2017, it was officially announced that Netflix had greenlit a live - action series adaptation of The Umbrella Academy due to premiere in 2018, with Way acting as an executive producer. Jeremy Slater will write the pilot script, and Steve Blackman is the showrunner. Filming Filming began on January 15 in Toronto, Ontario, and ended on July 18, 2018.
