| the umbrella academy season 4 release date |
The Umbrella Academy spoilers follow.
The Umbrella Academy has saved the world once again and now they have a bit of time to relax... kind of. Nothing is ever quiet for too long in this family's life.
But as can be expected, saving the world from the apocalypse comes with a catch, considering none of our superheroes have their superpowers anymore. Which isn't ideal if something else requires them.
Or… maybe this brave new world has a different team of dysfunctional super-powered peeps looking after them?
We have no idea, but there's definitely more of the story we're yet to see. Now it's just a case of figuring out when we'll see them.
Here's everything you need to know about the next season...
The Umbrella Academy season 4 potential release date: When is it coming back?
On August 25, 2022, it was announced by Netflix that The Umbrella Academy has been renewed for a fourth season. However, this will also be the show's last.
"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," showrunner Steve Blackman said in a statement.
"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."
That sounds like one hell of a promise!
It seems the family may be going international as well, considering the end credits sequence suggested Ben was definitely up to something over in Korea.
Unlike a lot of other Netflix titles, there doesn't seem to be a recurring pattern in the release date schedule. Season one of The Umbrella Academy aired in February 2019, season two was at the end of July 2020, and season three dropped two years later (blame COVID) in mid-June 2022.
If we're going for the rough June/July slot, that may be when we see the show next, with our guess being that it won't arrive until 2024 (sorry but there's a lot of work that goes into wrangling a dozen-strong cast and a load of visual effects to bring the show to life. Unless they start filming quickly, it won't be ready within a year.)
One thing's for sure, the cast are going to miss the show just as much as we will. Allison Hargreaves actress Emmy Raver-Lampman spoke to PopCulture.com about hanging up her apocalyptic hat, saying:
"I'm going to be so sad to say goodbye to these characters and I'm already dreading the last day on set. I'm going to be a wreck, but I also feel really grateful that we know that it's our last season."
She added: "That we get to not take a moment of being together for the last time for granted [is so important].
"We get to give these characters and the fans of the show an ending that they all deserve because a lot of shows don't get that opportunity and so I think we all are feeling very, very lucky to get to go back to Toronto and film one more time and to tie it off with a very dysfunctional, but pretty bow I'm sure."
Now we just have to sit and wait for its release. We'll let you know when that is!
The Umbrella Academy season 4 cast: Who's in it?
When The Umbrella Academy does comes back, it wouldn't be the same without... well, the Umbrella Academy. The alive ones at least.
Currently, as far as we know at least, this stands at:
• #1 – Luther (played by Tom Hopper)
• #2 – Diego (played by David Castañeda)
• #4 – Klaus (played by Robert Sheehan)
• #5 – Number Five (played by Aidan Gallagher)
• #7 – Viktor (played by Elliot Page)
Elliot Page's transition was incorporated into season three, with Viktor coming out to his family and embracing his male identity. The move was something that's been praised by fans and Elliot alike for its simple acknowledgement rather than making it a major focal point of the show.
Cast member Ritu Arya – who has also been confirmed to return as Lila – praised the difference it made on set and how it was a display of allyship with their friend as he adjusts to his new life.
