Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy will end with season 4

The Umbrella Academy is getting a fourth season — and it will be the show’s final one. Based on Gerard Way’s comic of the same name, the series first premiered in 2019. The series follows seven siblings with superpowers who have to keep the world from falling apart, though in different situations each season. This summer, the newest season debuted.

“I’m so excited that the incredibly loyal fans of The Umbrella Academy will be able to experience the fitting end to the Hargreeves siblings’ journey we began five years ago,” said showrunner Steve Blackman in a press release. “But before we get to that conclusion, we’ve got an amazing story ahead for season four, one that will have fans on the edge of their seats until the final minutes.”

At the end of season 3 — spoilers ahead! — the Hargreeves siblings ended up in a reality where they didn’t have any of their powers. But at least they’re all together! Mostly. So far, the returning cast includes Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H. Min, Ritu Arya, and Colm Feore.

Genesis Rodriguez (who plays Sloane Hargreeves) is a notable absent name. Season 3 saw the Umbrella Academy end up in a world with seven more superpowered kids. Their father, who was ruled by his will, dubbed it the Sparrow Academy. Sloane was one among them. She was able to survive the finale, but she wasn’t there for the last scenes.

Many loose ends need to be sorted out in the last season. It is already out of the comics. Blackman and Way both agree to see them as distinct entities. So if you’re looking at your comics as a way to predict where this last season will go, you’re probably going to have a hard time.

The Umbrella AcademyBlackman may have his work cut short, but he still has many other Netflix projects. His plans include a series based on Horizon Zero Dawn’s acclaimed video game and a thriller-event series that takes places on the International Space Station.
