Everything is ready for the grand finale of The Umbrella Academy is coming soon. The Netflix series based on the comics created and written by Gerard Way, illustrated by Gabriel Bá, and published by Dark Horse Comics is ready to return to Netflix with its fourth and final season which will debut on Netflix this year. The superhero series with Elliot Page is about to launch its fourth chapter and, to date, we have available not only the new posters for The Umbrella Academy Season 4 but also the official release date and previews of the plot. So, let’s delve into the world of The Umbrella Academy and find out what awaits us in season number four.
The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Everything We Know
“Emotion, surprises, and humor” is what the fourth and final season of The Umbrella Academy promises, the series that resumes its plot two years after the launch of its third installment, which managed to position itself as the most viewed on Netflix with 124 million of hours seen. The program set its premiere for August, with six episodes intended to conclude the story based on the comic of the same name by Gerard Way. The production confirmed the return of Steve Blackman as showrunner, ensuring to maintain the essence that characterized it since its original premiere in 2019. The main cast also returns with Elliot Page (Juno), Tom Hopper (Game of Thrones), David Castañeda (Sicario 2: soldier), Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H. Min, Ritu Arya, Colm Feore; plus, new additions Nick Offerman (The Last of Us) and Megan Mullally (Why Him?).
What Happened in Season Three
After two seasons that followed the plot of the comics, for the first time, The Umbrella Academy Season 3 followed plots independent of the books. After averting catastrophe in 1963, The Umbrella Academy returns home to the present with the belief that they have averted the initial apocalypse and solved the timeline problem once and for all. But after short-lived celebrations, the group realizes that things are nothing as they left them. Sparrow Academy enters the scene. Ingenious, elegant, and affectionate as icebergs, the Sparrows immediately face Umbrella in a violent clash that ends up being the least concern. Between challenges, losses, surprises, and an unidentified destructive entity that unleashes chaos in the universe (a situation that they may have caused themselves), they will now have to convince their father’s new and perhaps better family to help them solve the problem caused by new arrivals. Will they make it back to their pre-apocalyptic lives? Or perhaps this world will reveal more than just a glitch in the timeline?
What Will Be the Plot of Season 4?
The Umbrella Academy introduces audiences to the peculiar story of seven children born on the same day and adopted by eccentric billionaire Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore). He trains them to “save the world,” taking advantage of his unique superpowers. The first part follows the brothers, now grown and estranged, reunited after Hargreeves’ death and facing an apocalyptic threat. The second installment transports the brothers to the 60s, after a misuse of their powers that alters time. Each lands in Dallas, Texas, at different times, leading them to live separate lives until Number Five (Aidan Gallagher), the youngest, manages to reunite them. Together, they must prevent another catastrophic event which, this time, is related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
The third part sees the family return to the present, only to find an altered timeline where a new group of superheroes, the Sparrow Academy, has taken their place. In addition to resolving tensions with their new “rivals,” they must face an even greater threat that culminates in an epic showdown, the result of which is the loss of their powers. With new villains on the horizon, the fourth season will have to resolve how the brothers will face these challenges to achieve their survival. “Honestly, I like the fact that we don’t have powers because the show was never really about powers. “These were just a little seasoning for the show, so seeing them reduced means that [the story] will become about: ‘Let’s look at these people who we love to joke with each other,'” Castañeda said in a recent interview with People.
Release Date and Time of The Umbrella Academy Season 4
In a clip published by Netflix where the actors share their impressions about the new installment, the next installment was described as “the best season of all,” because the absurd humor and surprises that excited viewers from the beginning will be refined. Page (Viktor) highlighted the “excitement” and “plot twists” that will be seen in future episodes, while Tom Hopper (Luther) stated that the usual chaos will continue to haunt the group. For his part, Sheehan (Klaus) urged fans to “expect nothing” and they will win everything. Composed of six chapters, the fourth season of The Umbrella Academy will arrive on Netflix on August 8, 2024. While waiting for more news, you can find the first three parts on the platform.
