The Hargreeves siblings seeing Ben for the first time in an alternate timeline in The Umbrella Academy Season 3 Episode 1, "Meet the Family."

Hold onto your butts, Brellies! It’s Netflix Geeked Week, meaning it’s time for more chaotic treats from The Umbrella Academy, created by Steve Blackman, who also serves as the showrunner. As Season 3 hangs high on the horizon, certain cast members joined moderator Felicia Day for a panel exploring what Brellies can expect later this month. 

So, who paid Geeked Week a visit for some Hargreeves fun? Tom Hopper (Luther), David Castañeda (Diego), Justin H. Min (Ben), Emmy Raver-Lampman (Allison), Aidan Gallagher (Number 5) and Genesis Rodriguez (Sloane).

Day opens the panel by asking our panelists where we left the Hargreeves at the end of Season 2. Then, they introduce an exclusive clip featuring our intrepid Sparrow Academy while they’re exercising at the gym. Marcus (Justin Cornwell), Sloane (Rodriguez), Jayme (Cazzie David), Ben (Min), Alphonso (Jake Epstein) and Fei (Britne Oldford) jog on treadmills while describing each member of the Umbrella Academy. Even Christopher, the telekinetic cube of unknown origin, gets his cardio on!

Then, Day asks the Umbrella Academy if they feel they’d win in a fight against their Sparrow counterparts. Raver-Lampman would prevail by default because of her extraordinary powers, while Castañeda feels Ben would triumph, but Diego would cry. Or is it the other way around? Regardless, someone will cry. 

The panelists discuss similarities between the Umbrella Academy and the Sparrows and if they’d want to swap powers with anyone. Hopper decides that Jayme’s abilities might be fun to take for a spin (hint hint: it’s all about dreams, baby). 

Thankfully, Geeked Week blesses us with another sneak peek as our protagonists enter The Hotel Obsidian, their new headquarters. Klaus (Robert Sheehan) proceeds to rattle off a list of everyone who’s stayed there, including (potentially) two Kardashians!

Could Hotel Obsidian share a connection to Hotel Oblivion, Reginald Hargreeves’ (Colm Feore) interdimensional prison for the Umbrella Academy’s foes? 

Lastly, the panel wraps with fan questions. One fan asks who’s the most powerful between the Umbrella and Sparrow Academies, with the consensus being Lila Pitts (Ritu Arya). She can mimic any power, after all. I would say Viktor Hargreeves (Elliot Page) is a close second.

You can watch the entire panel and the Hotel Obsidian clip below. The Umbrella Academy Season 3 premieres on Wednesday, June 22, 2022, only on Netflix.
