Netflix has announced that they’re bringing the world of the Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba comic series The Umbrella Academy to life with a 10-episode series order to premiere in 2018.
“What drew us to The Umbrella Academy is that it’s wholly unique, visual and stylized,” said Cindy Holland, Vice President of Originals at Netflix.
The Umbrella Academy will be produced by Universal Cable Productions.
“I am thrilled that The Umbrella Academy has found a home at Netflix. I couldn’t think of a better place for the vision Gabriel Ba and myself had when creating the comic, and cannot wait for people to experience that world as a live action show,” Way said.
