Fans of The Umbrella Academy are waiting for Netflix to officially announce a third season.
Despite the show being a huge hit, the streaming service is yet to confirm that new episodes are on the way.
However, according to a report, production on a new run is expected to begin early next year.
An alleged shooting schedule seems to have surfaced on Production Weekly, a leading industry source used to track forthcoming films and TV shows.
It seems that The Umbrella Academy will begin shooting on 1 February 2021 for approximately six months.
Netflix had strongly been expected to renew the show for a new season considering its status as one of its most-viewed TV shows.
However, some fans were left concerned following the untimely cancellation of the streamer's other shows, including GLOW, due to Covid-19.
The production report will be welcome news for those worried the show would be axed following a huge season two cliffhanger.
If you go by the release date of the show's previous seasons – around seven or eight months after shooting ends – The Umbrella Academy could return to Netflix in February 2022.
The fantasy comic-book adaptation was recently criticised for using "antisemitic stereotypes", including a seemingly corrupt organisation whose evil boss, known as The Handler, is shown speaking Yiddish.
Yiddish is the language almost exclusively spoken by Ashkenazi Jews.
Steve Blackman, the show's co-creator, called the accusations "hurtful and, more importantly, factually incorrect".
