Netflix officially renews The Umbrella Academy season 4, but it will be the show's final season. In 2019, Netflix launched the first season of The Umbrella Academy, a superhero series based on the Dark Horse Comic. The show focuses on a group of powered adults who were raised to be superheroes known as the Umbrella Academy, and it follows their adventures together across time to save the universe. The Umbrella Academy's cast of superheroes includes Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, and Aidan Gallagher.

Audiences saw the latest chapter of their stories thanks to The Umbrella Academy season 3's release on Netflix earlier this year. Building off the season 2 cliffhanger and introduction of the Sparrow Academy, the story focused on the group coming to grips with the new reality they lived in and trying to return to their previous lives. The Umbrella Academy season 3's ending directly left the door open for another season, although Netflix had not yet announced if viewers will see more of the story.

Netflix has now officially renewed The Umbrella Academy season 4. The news will be bittersweet to fans of the superhero show, as The Umbrella Academy season 4 will be the last. There is no official release date for the new season, but Netflix has confirmed the key cast members are all returning. That means more of Elliot Page's Viktor, Tom Hopper's Luther, David Castañeda's Diego, Emmy Raver-Lampman's Allison, Robert Sheehan's Klaus, Aidan Gallagher's Five, Justin H. Min's Ben, Ritu Arya's Lila, and Colm Feore's Reginald.

The Umbrella Academy Season 4

The Umbrella Academy season 4 should directly continue the storylines set up in season 3's finale. After Allison helped Sir Reginald reset the universe, she has been reunited with her family, while Reginald is now seemingly leading an empire of businesses with his wife. The other big revelation is that the Umbrella Academy members lose their powers. Some other storylines for Umbrella Academy's final season are expected to revolve around Luther searching for Sloane and paying off The Umbrella Academy season 3's post-credits scene with Ben.

Although some viewers might not be ready to say goodbye to the Umbrella Academy characters, The Umbrella Academy ending with season 4 is understandable. The series has already gone beyond the source material, but it also would be unsatisfying if season 3 was the end. The Umbrella Academy season 3 was also a big hit for Netflix once again, as it had one of the streaming service's best first weeks for any TV show in 2022. Continuing and ending the story with The Umbrella Academy season 4 gives showrunner Steve Blackman the chance to know in advance that this is his chance to wrap up the story.
