A brand new sneak peek of the new season of Umbrella Academy has been released and fans of Euphoria were left shocked after spotting a very familiar face.
The new pictures - which were posted by the official Umbrella Academy Twitter account - feature a number of returning characters including Vanya (Elliot page), Klaus (Robert Sheehan), Luther (Tom Hopper) and Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman).
One of the brand new characters teased in the fresh new look is portrayed by Javon Walton, the young actor who is best known for playing drug dealer and killer Ashtray in the dark and provocative HBO high school drama.

Javon has swapped Ashtray’s buzzcut, facial tattoos and gold chain for a simple haircut and a terracotta shirt with blue jeans and Euphoria fans can’t believe how different the 15-year-old looks in his new role.
One Umbrella Academy fan shared their reaction on Twitter, writing: “Javon AKA Ashtray will be in Umbrella Academy season 3.. funny seeing him look like an actual child.”
Another excited viewer tweeted: “AYO WHAT ASHTRAY DOING IN THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY”.
A third person wrote: “My bet is that the kid who played Ashtray on Euphoria is the grandson of Harlan in Umbrella Academy or Diego’s son”.

Javon’s casting was announced by Netflix in March, following the shocking Euphoria season two finale in which Ashtray was presumably shot dead.
The official Netflix account shared a picture of Javon and tweeted: “I heard a rumor… that Javon Walton is joining the cast of Umbrella Academy Season 3 — and I’m happy to confirm that it is true!"
Details about Javon's Umbrella Academy character have been kept under wraps by the streaming service however he is credited for appearing in 10 episodes on IMDb, suggesting he has quite a big role.
Javon has been one of the most familiar faces in Euphoria since the series began in 2019.

The boxer and actor has not revealed whether he will return for the upcoming third season of Euphoria, which is slated to air in 2024.
We wouldn’t want spoilers about Ashtray’s fate so far ahead of time!
