The trailer for the long-awaited Netflix series The Umbrella Academy season 3 dropped last week, and those two and a half minutes were everything we hoped for and more. The second season of this series ended on a massive cliffhanger. We see a big change in the timeline due to all the actions by the Hagreeves’ in the 1960s. What resulted was the creation of the Sparrow Academy instead of the Umbrella Academy.

In the trailer, we also saw that the previously deceased Hargreeves’ brother, Ben, played by Justin H. Min, and the adoptive father, Sir Reginald Hargreeves, played by Colm Feore, were alive in this new altered reality.

In the previous seasons, Ben was portrayed as the amazingly sweet brother who passed away and returned as a ghost to hang out with Klaus, played by Robert Sheehan. In the second season finale, we saw him sacrificing his ghost self to save the world and the departed to the afterlife. However, in the trailer, we see his sweet nature completely wiped off in the altered timeline, and now he seems to be plain obnoxious

obnoxious.

But that wasn’t even what stumped us when we watched the trailer. The season 3 trailer for The Umbrella Academy sheds light on a rather curious phenomenon because of the time traveling. Five concludes that going back to the future resulted in this time paradox that’s essentially swallowing certain parts of reality. According to his assumption, the Umbrellas’ meddling with time causes something called the “kugelblitz.”
