Elliot Page confirms The Umbrella Academy season three has started filming after cast secured huge pay rise

ELLIOT Page has confirmed that season three of The Umbrella Academy has started filming – after the cast secured a huge pay rise.

The 33-year-old actor took to his Instagram page earlier today to share a photo of the back of a director's chair with the show's logo on it.

Elliot simply captioned the post: "Omg we're back again", tagging all of the show's stars including Robert Sheehan and Justin Min.

The updated logo sees a sparrow sitting atop an umbrella – referencing the mysterious Sparrow Academy that was unveiled at the end of season two.

Fans were thrilled by the news, and flocked to the comment section to share their excitement.

One follower wrote: "WHY AM I SO EXCITED TO SEE A CHAIR?"


Another simply added: "OMG OMG OMG!"

A third commented: "This is what we need!"

Last week, six cast members were granted huge pay rises after they joined forces to approach Netflix bosses for the boost.


Justin, Robert, David Castaneda, Aidan Gallagher, Tom Hopper, and Emmy Raver-Lampman all took part in the salary negotiations ahead of production on the third season, with Variety reporting that each actor will now earn over $200,000 an episode.

Elliot is also said to have received a boost in pay, but the star was not involved in the group negotiations as he has a separate contract at a higher rate as the series' lead Vanya.

It is not yet known when the new series of The Umbrella Academy will hit our screens, with it thought that this won't be before 2022.

In the show's season two finale, the Hargreaves family were horrified to travel forward in time and learn that they had been replaced by a new league of vigilantes.

The group were silhouetted at the time, giving away very little – but star Justin shared the first look at his new squad on social media, much to his followers' delight.
