- The Umbrella Academy, Season 3 by multiple writers and directors (Netflix, 22 June 2022).
After stopping the JFK-induced apocalypse in Season 2, the six Umbrella siblings return to 2019 where they no longer exist and their still-living father has founded The Sparrow Academy in their stead.
—Michael Main
Well, someone killed our mothers, so we shouldn’t exist, but clearly we do exist, and the universe can’t handle it, which is a problem.

- Grandfather Paradox: The beginning of (s03e03) has a fun, educational film on the dangers of the Grandfather Paradox. However, the actual paradox in Season 3 is only an indirect Grandfather Paradox, in that Vanya’s actions in Season 2 eventually led to herself and others never being born She never planned to kill her ancestor (in this case, her mother)! We count this as a Self-Defeating Act, but not a Grandfather Paradox.
