🚨WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY SEASON 3! 🚨
In true Umbrella Academy fashion, the latest season was a chaotic mess, but in the best way possible. There were alternative versions of our favourite characters (hello Sparrow Academy), as well as an important reintroduction (Viktor, you have my whole heart). Plus, the world came to an end (yet again), and there was a climatic ending that kicked the door wide open for future episodes.
As always, one of the core things that defines The Umbrella Academy and makes it so great is the chemistry that the cast have with one another. So, like in previous years, here are some adorable behind-the-scenes photos of the entire cast being friendship goals.
