Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for “The Umbrella Academy” series based on the Dark Horse comic created by former My Chemical Romance front-man Gerard Way. The 10-episode series will star Tom Hopper, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aiden Gallagher and Ellen Page, among others and arrive on our screens February 15th 2019. The world will end in eight days – but don’t worry, a pot of coffee will resolve things.
On the same day in 1989, forty-three infants are inexplicably born to random, unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Seven are adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves, a billionaire industrialist, who creates The Umbrella Academy and prepares his “children” to save the world. But not everything went according to plan. In their teenage years, the family fractured and the team disbanded. Now, the six surviving thirty-something members reunite upon the news of Hargreeve’s passing. Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Vanya and Number Five work together to solve a mystery surrounding their father’s death. But the estranged family once again begins to come apart due to their divergent personalities and abilities, not to mention the imminent threat of a global apocalypse.

The comic is superb. I’m not an MCR fan, bit too over-produced, but he’s a unique talent.
