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.

Season 3’s plot 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.
