Here's What's Happening With Elliot Page's Character As Umbrella Academy Season 3 Drops Tomorrow

With just one more sleep before The Umbrella Academy season three drops, there's a lot to be excited about – including what's in store for Elliot Page's character.

But in March this year, the actor confirmed the fantastic news that his character will be coming out in the third season, changing his name from Vanya to Viktor and using he/him/his pronouns.

Sharing an official photo of Viktor on Twitter at the time, Elliot wrote: "Meet Viktor Hargreeves."

As for how the series will deliver the Viktor's coming out story, UNILAD were lucky enough to catch an early glimpse of the episode – and while we can't divulge any details, we're going to hazard a guess that the fans will love it.

"I’ve learned how special it is to play one character for so long, to evolve with a family of characters," he said.

"All of us have gone through a lot. Years have gone by, and we’ve changed and grown in our own ways.

"I love watching the growth happen alongside the show, our personalities interweaving and all of us having our own moments. I’m just learning to love the whole journey of it."

Elliot also said that the biggest joy about transitioning is being able to truly see himself for the first time.

"I know I look different to others, but to me I’m just starting to look like myself. It’s indescribable, because I’m just like, there I am. And thank God. Here I am," he said.

"So the greatest joy is just being able to feel present, literally, just to be present. To go out in a group of new people and be able to engage in a way where I didn’t feel this constant sensation to flee from my body, this never-ending sensation of anxiety and nervousness and wanting out."

Beyond Elliot's coming out story, the plot is set to throw the OG Hargreeves kids into disarray as they're thrust into a new reality where their adoptive dad has taken on a set of new (and potentially better) group of kids – enter the Sparrow Academy.

And if that weren't exciting enough, you've literally only got hours to wait until the new episodes drop. Popcorn at the ready!

Season three of The Umbrella Academy hits Netflix on 22 June.
