Netflix has finally announced that we’ll see the fourth and final season of The Umbrella Academy this summer. According to the streamer, the new episodes will be available starting on August 8, 2024. We also got a first look of that season, which you can take a gander at above.
Netflix, via their Tudum website, also released a short behind-the-scenes featurette where the cast gave vague descriptors as to what we’ll see in the upcoming season. Elliot Page, for example, described the season as including “excitement, surprises, humor.”
Aidan Gallagher, who plays Number 5, called out the vagueness by saying, “You can expect us, in marketing material, to try and dance around getting people excited without saying anything new.”
In case you need a refresher, the end of season three saw the Hargreeves siblings thrust into another timeline by their abusive father where none of them have any powers. Will they ever get their powers back? Will they be able to avoid the destruction of the universe, something they seem prone to do? We’ll have to wait and see, as Netflix is keeping the lid tight on any plot details.
In addition to Page and Gallagher, The Umbrella Academy stars Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Justin H. Min, Ritu Arya, and Colm Feore. The fourth season will also see Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally joining the cast, playing college professors who get caught up in timeline shenanigans. David Cross will also be in the upcoming episodes playing Sy Grossman, a “business owner and family man” looking to reconnect with his estranged daughter.
The first three seasons of The Umbrella Academy are now streaming on Netflix.
