The Umbrella Academy Adds Euphoria Vet Javon Walton in Season 3 Role

Fans of Euphoria‘s Javon Walton are on quite the emotional rollercoaster this week.

The Umbrella Academy: Everything We Know So Far About Season 3


Launch List

Netflix announced on Tuesday that Walton will be part of The Umbrella Academy‘s upcoming third season, news that comes less than 48 hours after — Euphoria season finale spoiler alert! — Walton’s Euphoria character, Ashtray, died during a police shootout in Sunday’s season ender.

“I heard a rumor… that Javon Walton is joining the cast of Umbrella Academy Season 3 — and I’m happy to confirm that it is true!” Netflix wrote in a tweet, invoking Allison Hargreeves’ signature phrase from the series. Additional details about Walton’s character are being kept under wraps.

Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy will drop sometime in 2022, though a more exact premiere date has yet to be announced. The new episodes will pick up in an alternate timeline that the Hargreeves siblings accidentally created in the Season 2 finale — one in which Sir Reginald (and Ben!) haven’t died, and the Sparrow Academy was founded instead of the Umbrella Academy.

To that end, the Season 3 Sparrows will be played by Justin H. Min (as a “Machiavellian” version of Ben), Justin Cornwell (Training Day), Britne Oldford (The Flash), Jake Epstein (Degrassi: The Next Generation), Genesis Rodriguez (Time After Time), Cazzie David (Eighty-Sixed miniseries) and TV “newcomer” Dread-Inducing Psykronium Cube.

Plus, series vets Elliot Page (as Vanya), Tom Hopper (as Luther), David Castañeda (as Diego), Emmy Raver-Lampman (as Allison), Robert Sheehan (as Klaus) and Aidan Gallagher (as Number Five) will also be back, as will Colm Feore as Sir Reginald and Ritu Arya as Lila.
