You can always tell the kind of content that is going to be on screen based on the rating that is put upon it. That’s why many Marvel movies stick with PG-13 so that fans know certain things beforehand (especially parents of young kids). The Umbrella Academy in its first two seasons on Netflix adapted a TV-14 moniker, which was fair given what the show is. But for The Umbrella Academy Season 3, apparently things are changing…
Eagle-eyed fans have noted that in light of the upcoming Season 3, Netflix has upped the rating for the series to TV-MA. Which is very curious, and makes many wonder what exactly is going to happen in Season 3 to warrant such a “promotion”.
For those who haven’t seen it yet, a teaser for The Umbrella Academy Season 3 has dropped recently, and here is the synopsis for the third season:
“After putting a stop to 1963’s doomsday, the Umbrella Academy return home to the present, convinced they prevented the initial apocalypse and fixed this godforsaken timeline once and for all. But after a brief moment of celebration, they realize things aren’t exactly (okay, not at all) how they left them. Enter the Sparrow Academy. Smart, stylish, and about as warm as a sea of icebergs, the Sparrows immediately clash with the Umbrellas in a violent face-off that turns out to be the least of everyone’s concerns. Navigating challenges, losses, and surprises of their own – and dealing with an unidentified destructive entity wreaking havoc in the Universe (something they may have caused) – now all they need to do is convince Dad’s new and possibly better family to help them put right what their arrival made wrong. Will they find a way back to their pre-apocalyptic lives? Or is this new world about to reveal more than just a hiccup in the timeline?”
