100 free The Umbrella Academy trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
The Umbrella Academy ran for four seasons on Netflix between 2019 and 2024, and it packed a lot into them: a family funeral, three separate apocalypses, a stopover in 1963 Dallas, a rival academy, a talking goldfish running a time-travel bureaucracy and a finale that erased the heroes from existence. This quiz covers all of it, plus the Dark Horse comics by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá that started everything. You'll get questions on each of the Hargreeves siblings and their powers, the villains and side characters (Hazel and Cha-Cha, the Handler, Lila, Harold Jenkins, Pogo), the season-by-season plots, the cast, and production trivia like where it was filmed and how the show handled Elliot Page's transition. Difficulty runs from easy questions any viewer will get to details only a rewatcher would remember. Every answer has been checked against a primary source before publishing, so the score you share is one you can defend.
