Summary

• The Umbrella Academy season 4, based on the beloved comic book, will be the show's final season, premiering on August 8.
• The Hargreeves siblings, born with superpowers, must come together to save the world from its impending doom.
• Unlike other Netflix shows experimenting with split seasons, The Umbrella Academy will conclude with all episodes dropping at once.

The Umbrella Academy season 4 release date has been revealed. Based on the comic books by My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way, the Netflix series follows the adopted and dysfunctional family of superpowered Hargreeves siblings who reunite to solve the mystery surrounding their father's death and prevent an impending apocalypse. After running on Netflix since 2019, the offbeat comic book adaptation, which has been a fan favorite since its debut, will come to an end with its fourth season.

Now, The Umbrella Academy season 4 release date is Thursday, August 8.

On Twitter/X, the streaming service shared the premiere date for the final season with the caption, "Brellies forever," a nickname for fans of the show. The post, as seen above, also includes a collection of character posters for the final season.

The final episodes will drop all at once; Netflix has recently begun experimenting with split seasons for shows such as Stranger Things, The Witcher, and Bridgerton. However, The Umbrella Academy will conclude all at once.

What To Expect From The Umbrella Academy Season 4

The final season will see the return of most of the main Umbrella Academy cast, including Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Ritu Arya, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Justin H. Min, Aidan Gallagher, and Colm Feore – each of whom is highlighted in their own character poster above. New additions to the cast for season 4 include Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally, who are married in real life and play Dr. Gene and Jean Thibedeau, a mild-mannered married couple and community college professors. Comedian David Cross plays Sy Grossman, a shy businessman desperate to reconnect with his estranged daughter.

Though official plot details remain under wraps, the final episodes are expected to pick up after The Umbrella Academy season 3 ending. Since season 4 likely draws from the unpublished fourth storyline called "The Sparrow Academy," it's unknown what future the final season will hold as the show ventures into territory uncovered by the comics. However, season 4 should find the siblings struggling to regain their powers, meeting more doppelgängers, and living in a timeline ruled by Reginald Hargreeves. Since it's the final season, expect the episodes to be more dramatic than ever.

The Umbrella Academy seasons 1-3 are streaming on Netflix.
