Netflix has announced three exciting new editions for the forthcoming season of The Umbrella Academy. On 24 February, the streamer revealed that Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation), Megan Mullally (Will & Grace) and David Cross (Arrested Development) have joined the superhero drama’s fourth and final season, which is currently filming in Toronto.
Cross will star as Sy Grossman, “an upstanding, shy business owner and family man desperate to reconnect with his estranged daughter, who will stop at nothing to get her back.” Real-life married couple Offerman and Mullally will play Drs.
Gene and Jean Tibedeau, “a married pair of community college professors from New Mexico who wear sensible footwear and suffer from the most extreme case of deja vu this timeline has ever seen.” Offerman recently garnered widespread critical acclaim for his performance as Bill in the third episode of HBO’s The Last of Us, which has since been hailed as one of the greatest TV episodes in history.
The aforementioned stars join returning cast members Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H.
