The Umbrella Academy season 3 debuted on June 22, 2022, and we finally found out what happens between the Umbrellas and the Sparrow Academy. Last we saw of our favorite Hargreeves siblings, they were battling it out against the Commission and trying to find a way home. But when they got back to their present-day timeline, everything was changed.
The Umbrella Academy season 4 release date, cast, leak, spolier, countdown, trailer and more
In The Umbrella Academy season 3, the Umbrellas have to deal with the fact that the Sparrows now live in their home. As Number Five (Aidan Gallagher) explains, they’ve created a time travel paradox and have to figure out how to fix it. It’s never a dull moment with this crew!
This story will be updated as we learn more about season 4. The latest update was on Friday, Aug. 4, 2023.
The Umbrella Academy season 4 is happening
On Aug. 25, 2022, Netflix announced that The Umbrella Academy season 4 is happening. Of course, this was awesome news for fans of the series, but there’s also bad news.
The Umbrella Academy season 4 is the final season
The fourth season will also be the final season of the series, according to Deadline. While that’s certainly bittersweet, we’ll at least get one more season to finish things up with the characters.
Most Netflix shows don’t make it to four seasons. Many never even get a second season. It’s great that after all this time the cast and creative team get to choose the ending and go out on their terms. What will those terms be? Well, it’s going to be really interesting to see, especially considering how season 3 ended.
We recently learned some more important news regarding season 4, and it’s not that good if you’re a big fan of The Umbrella Academy.
The Umbrella Academy season 4 is only six episodes
Steve Blackman, the showrunner, confirmed that there will only be six episodes in The Umbrella Academy season 4. In each of the first three seasons, there were 10 episodes. So, it’s going to be quite a bit shorter than the first three seasons.
There will be 36 episodes in The Umbrella Academy by the time the season finishes.
The Umbrella Academy season 4 episode titles
We don’t know all of the episode titles of The Umbrella Academy season 4 yet. We probably won’t find out that information until right before the final season, although Netflix has given fans a sneak peek at episode titles for some shows months in advance.
We do know the episode of the first episode of season 4, though. Blackman shared the title of season 4 premiere on Instagram, and it’s “The Unbearable Tragedy of Getting What You Want.” It’s written by Blackman and Jesse McKeown.
Blackman also revealed the title of the season finale, “The End of Beginning.”
- “The Unbearable Tragedy of Getting What You Want” – The Umbrella Academy season 4, episode 1
- “The End of Beginning” – The Umbrella Academy season 4, episode 6 (series finale)
The Umbrella Academy season 4 cast
Along with the renewal announcement, Netflix confirmed which cast members and main characters we will be seeing in the final season. We shared the season 4 cast list below:
- Elliot Page
- Tom Hopper
- David Castañeda
- Emmy Raver-Lampman
- Robert Sheehan
- Aidan Gallagher
- Justin H. Min
- Ritu Arya
- Colm Feore
- Lisa Repo-Martell
- Nick Offerman
- Megan Mullally
- David Cross
It’s been confirmed that Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, and David Cross will also star in The Umbrella Academy season 4. Offerman and Mullally, who are married in real life, will play Drs. Gene and Jean Thibedeau in the new season. Cross will play Sy Grossma
There’s also reason to expect cast members from previous seasons, including the Sparrows from season 3, to return for season 4. It’s a short season so there might not be room for everyone, but I think we could see Cazzie David, Genesis Rodriguez, Britne Oldford, Justin Cornwell, and Jake Epstein in the fourth season.
Stay tuned for more cast updates.
The Umbrella Academy season 4 wrapped in May 2023
Blackman also shared a picture of the cast on Instagram and announced filming was officially underway in February 2023.
What’s on Netflix shared that The Umbrella Academy season 4 was supposed to run through May 2023. It’s obviously a much quicker production since it’s only six episodes instead of the normal 10.
The Umbrella Academy season 4 wrapped production in May 2023, as expected. The season has been officially in post-production as of June 2023, and it’s likely to last for quite a long time.
Will the writers’ and actors’ strikes delay The Umbrella Academy season 4?
It’s possible the writers’ and actors’ strikes could delay the release of The Umbrella Academy season 4, but not definite. Because the season has already been filmed, Netflix could likely still release the final installment without breaking any rules of the strikes, however if rewrites or reshoots are needed, that’s where they’d be in trouble. On top of that, actors are not allowed to promote their projects that are under the AMPTP, which includes Netflix. So if The Umbrella Academy season 4 were to come out during the actors’ strike, the cast couldn’t give interviews or really talk about it at all.
Netflix has, of course, still been releasing new seasons of shows amid the strikes, so it’s entirely possible they won’t affect the release of The Umbrella Academy season 4. But at this time, we don’t have a concrete answer.
Has Netflix announced The Umbrella Academy season 4 release date yet?
All of that is to say that no, Netflix has not announced The Umbrella Academy season 4 release date yet.
For a long time, our team at Netflix Life was anticipating The Umbrella Academy season 4 release date in early 2024. Interestingly, though, Reddit spies shared news from Dark Horse Comics that claims The Umbrella Academy season 4 is coming in 2023! That would be amazing, and it’s definitely possible with production ending in May.
If everything goes well and Netflix puts the pedal to the metal, there’s definitely a chance we could see the new season by the end of the year. The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes are likely to delay filming on a number of Netflix productions, but we know The Umbrella Academy season 4 already completed filming. Netflix could position The Umbrella Academy season 4 for a November or December release date.
Release Prediction: Maybe late 2023, but definitely early 2024
Netflix always rolls out a big show in sci-fi or fantasy show in February or March. We think The Umbrella Academy season 4 could be that show in 2024.
We’ll share more updates about The Umbrella Academy season 4 as we find out!
