Coming to Netflix Australia in August, the fourth season of The Umbrella Academy will mark the final chapter of this popular Netflix comic book adaptation.
In our comprehensive guide to The Umbrella Academy season 4, we provide you with all the information you need to know – from the estimated release date, casting updates, a recap of the narrative so far.
Umbrella Academy Season 4 Trailer
Netflix has just dropped the Umbrella Academy Season 4 trailer.
It’s the final timeline.
Umbrella Academy Season 4 Release Date
As for the release date of The Umbrella Academy season 4, Netflix has confirmed the season but has yet to announce an official release date. If we consider the release patterns of the previous seasons, we can estimate new episodes to arrive sometime between December 2023 and June 2024.
Umbrella Academy Season 4 Plot
Predicting the plot for season 4 is challenging without a trailer or synopsis – not to mention the unpredictable nature of The Umbrella Academy means we could all just be guessing anyway.
However, it wouldn’t be any fun if we didn’t at least give it a go to predict what might happen in season 4.
The conclusion of season 3 leaves us with several potential story arcs. Given that it’s the final season, we expect many loose ends to be tied up. Steve Blackman has revealed that the fourth season will consist of only six episodes, shorter than the standard ten episodes of the previous seasons.
The Hargreeves siblings are transported to a new timeline constructed by Reginald where they discover they have lost their powers. This new reality paves the way for a probable quest in Season 4 to regain their abilities and restore the timeline. Moreover, the siblings encountered a different version of their brother Ben, indicating a potential reunion and possibly other alternate versions of characters that might be explored further in the upcoming season.
Sir Reginald Hargreeves’ ominous presence, has fans theorising a significant, possibly antagonistic, role for him in Season 4. His resurrected wife adds another layer of intrigue that could bring new twists to the story.
Diego and Lila’s attempt to lead a normal life could hit some snags, forming a subplot in Season 4. Additionally, Luther’s mysterious resurrection and his missing wife Sloane are other narrative threads that might be unravelled, bringing new challenges and adversaries to the fold.
Most importantly though, what will be the apocalypse our Fab 5 face in season 4?
Umbrella Academy Season 4 Cast
The cast for The Umbrella Academy season 4 is expected to include many returning actors based on the conclusion of season 3 – Elliot Page (Viktor), Tom Hopper (Luther), David Castañeda (Diego), Emmy Raver-Lampman (Allison), Robert Sheehan (Klaus), Aidan Gallagher (Five), Justin H. Min, and Ritu Arya (Lila), Colm Feore as Reginald Hargreeves and Liisa Repo-Martell as the seemingly resurrected Abigail will all have to be back for season 4.
