Summary

• The Umbrella Academy season 4, the final season, is highly anticipated and will close out the story of the Hargreeves siblings.
• Season 3's cliffhanger ending set the stage for season 4, with reality adjusted to fit Reginald Hargreeves' plans.
• The release date is set for August 2024, and while the plot is still unknown, viewers can expect the siblings to reacquire their powers and face new challenges.

The Umbrella Academy season 4 is on the way to Netflix, and the final episodes of the action-filled superhero show that defies all conventions can’t come soon enough. Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy adapts the graphic novels by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá, which tell the story of the superpowered siblings raised by maniacal genius Reginald Hargreeves. The Umbrella Academy left things on a cliffhanger ending when the third season concluded in 2022, meaning anticipation for the next chapter is high. The Umbrella Academy season 4 will end the show, closing out the story of Hargreeves siblings once and for all.

Season 3’s plot line about meeting their doppelgangers, the Sparrow Academy, and attempting to save the universe from the Kugelblitz set the stage for The Umbrella Academy season 4. While they weren’t able to stop the Kugelblitz from destroying the universe and the timeline, the heroes were able to get to Oblivion. There, they were able to restart the universe, but this time with reality adjusted to fit Reginald Hargreeves' plans. With Hargreeves now the head of a massive business empire and the siblings deprived of their powers, season 4 looks poised to end The Umbrella Academy on an explosive note.

A Release Date Has Been Revealed For The Final Season

After months of delay and little news, the latest update confirms the release date for The Umbrella Academy season 4. While a release window was provided in late 2023, Netflix has now announced that the final season of the off-beat comic book series will debut on August 8th, 2024.

The Academy Reopens In August

After the third season concluded in June 2022, Netflix was rather quiet about the details of The Umbrella Academy season 4, though the series was quickly renewed. Then, the streamer provided a 2024 release window in late 2023, and now Netflix has confirmed that The Umbrella Academy's fourth and final season will debut on August 8th, 2024.

Cross will play Sly Grossman, a business owner and family man. Offerman and Mullally will be portraying Dr. Gene and Dr. Jean Thibedeau, a married couple who are more aware than most of the disruption to the timeline.

Along with the announcement that the series was renewed in late 2022, it was also revealed that The Umbrella Academy season 4 will be the last. The official Twitter page for the show broke the news, and it wasn't particularly shocking considering the brevity of its source material. Despite being only three seasons long, The Umbrella Academy has outpaced its comic book predecessor and is moving into uncharted territory.

The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Story

What Will Happen In The Final Season?

While The Umbrella Academy TV series has never held itself too closely to its comic book source material, the graphic novels have tended to provide a hint about what the next season of the show might explore. However, the plot of The Umbrella Academy season 4 is one of the most mysterious to date, since the story will be in completely new territory uncovered by the graphic novels.

The Umbrella Academy season 1 adapted the first storyline, “The Apocalypse Suite,” season 2 adapted “Dallas,” and season 3 took some elements from the third storyline “Hotel Oblivion.” However, the fourth storyline has not yet been published, and as it is set to be called “The Sparrow Academy,” it is reasonable to think that season 3 already drew on that material while working with Gerard Way.

This leaves The Umbrella Academy season 4’s story in unexplored territory. The Umbrella Academy season 4 will be working on fresh material and is likely to deal with the siblings needing to reacquire their powers, facing new doppelgängers (as hinted with the appearance of Ben in the post-credits scene), and living in a world run by Reginald Hargreeves.
