"On the same day in 1989, 43 infants are inexplicably born to random, unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Seven are adopted by a billionaire who creates The Umbrella Academy and prepares his 'children' to save the world," said a synopsis accompanying Saturday's minute-long preview. "Now, the six surviving members reunite upon the news of their father's passing and must work together to solve a mystery surrounding his death."

The clip, which kicks off the story in 1989, is set to Tiffany's pop hit "I Think We're Alone Now."

The show is based on the Dark Horse Comics series that was created/written by Gerard Way and illustrated by Gabriel Bá.
