While a third season has yet to be announced, it's widely speculated that Netflix will sign on the dotted line, given that The Umbrella Academy has proved to be one of the most popular shows of 2020.

In the meantime, fans have been deliving into the comics by Gerard Way, which formed the basis of the series.

Having studied the various plot lines, they think they've figured out key spoilers for season 3 - and Allison Hargreaves, played by Emmy Raver-Lampman, at the centre of the action.

In the comics' first printed issue, But the Past Ain’t Through With You, Allison finds herself caught up in a death hoax.

She possesses powers that exceed the mind control audiences see on the TV showm, able to bend the laws of reality to her will.

Taking to screen rant, one fan explained: “A villain known as the Murder Magician proudly admits on national television that he and the Assistant are responsible for killing the Rumor.

“Although the members of the Academy are able to defeat the murderous robot and the Murder Magician, the Assistant is startled to find the Rumor pursuing her, believing that they had already killed her.”

Will Allison produce a clone of herself in seaoson 3 as she takes her abilities to the next level?

If so, she could eclipse Vanya (Ellen Page) as the most formidable member of the team.

The theory comes after Vanya actress Ellen Page revealed the explosive season 2 finale had to be completely rewritten due to a snowstorm.

Meanwhile Emmy Raver-Lampman explained why Allison was reluctant to user her powers for the vast majority of the second series.

Elsewhere, the show posted a guide to every single clue about the Sparrow Academy after the epic cliffhanger in the season 2 finale.

The Umbrella Academy seasons 1 and 2 are available to stream on Netflix now.
