The trailer, which you can check out below, showcases the titular dysfunctional superhero team dancing in a mansion, a whole bunch of fight scenes, sisters sharing whiskey and a talking monkey. It also features a cover of the song, “Hazy Shades of Winter” by Way, formerly the lead singer of My Chemical Romance.
The series, created for television by Steve Blackman and executive produced by Way and Ba, tells the story of six extraordinary children who were miraculously born to women showing no signs of pregnancy. Adopted by a reclusive billionaire, the six become the superhero team, The Umbrella Academy, who are forced to save the world and confront their family issues in the face of a global apocalypse.
The series stars Ellen Page, Mary J. Blige, Cameron Britton, Tom Hopper, Robert Sheehan, Adam Godley, Colm Feore, and Emmy Raver-Lampman. All ten episodes of the show’s first season will debut on Netflix on February 15.
