The Umbrella Academy is an American superhero web television series developed by Steve Blackman and Jeremy Slater for Netflix. It is an adaptation of the comic book series of the same name, created by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá, and published by Dark Horse Comics. The plot revolves around a dysfunctional family of adopted sibling superheroes who reunite to solve the mystery of their father's death, and the threat of an impending apocalypse. The series is produced by Borderline Entertainment, Dark Horse Entertainment and Universal Cable Productions.

The first season was released on Netflix on February 15, 2019. It received positive reviews from critics, with many praising the cast and visuals, though the tone and pacing were criticized.

Ellen Page as Vanya Hargreeves / Number Seven / The White Violin. Constantly told she had no supernatural abilities and was nothing special. In reality, she is actually the most powerful and dangerous of her siblings (able to convert sound waves into destructive force), so much so that their father purposely suppressed and hid her powers from her.
Tom Hopper as Luther Hargreeves / Number One / Spaceboy, an astronaut with super strength. He lived on the moon for four years as a mission from his father. He was the only one of his siblings who did not leave the team and during a mission was severely injured. To save his life, Reginald injected him with a serum that turned his upper body into that of an ape.[4]
David Castañeda as Diego Hargreeves / Number Two / The Kraken, a rebellious troublemaker with enhanced breath-holding abilities and the ability to curve the trajectory of anything he throws, usually knives.[5]
Emmy Raver-Lampman as Allison Hargreeves / Number Three / The Rumor, a celebrity with the ability to manipulate reality by lying with the phrase "I heard a rumor...".[4][6]
Robert Sheehan as Klaus Hargreeves / Number Four / The Séance, a flamboyant and pansexual drug addict with the ability to communicate with the dead.[4]
Aidan Gallagher as Number Five / The Boy, a boy with the ability to jump through space and time. After traveling to the future he ended up in a post-apocalyptic world, unable to get back. He survived on his own for decades before being recruited into the Commission, an agency that kept tabs on the timeline and figures who would threaten it. He eventually betrayed them in order to get back to his time and is constantly hunted by his former employer.[4]
Mary J. Blige as Cha-Cha, a ruthless assassin who is work partners with Hazel.[7]
Cameron Britton as Hazel, Cha-Cha's partner, who slowly becomes disillusioned with his life as a Commission agent.[8]
John Magaro as Leonard Peabody / Harold Jenkins, Vanya's love interest. As a kid, he was an admirer of the Umbrella Academy and begged to join, since he was born on the same day as the result of a normal pregnancy, but was humiliated by Reginald. He would later discover Reginald's diary, detailing Vanya's potential and inserts himself into her life with the goal of manipulating her into discovering and using her powers.[9]
Adam Godley as Pogo, a chimpanzee and Reginald's closest assistant.[8]
Colm Feore as Sir Reginald Hargreeves / The Monocle, the Umbrella Academy's adoptive alien father and a billionaire industrialist
