After saving the world once again, the Umbrella Academy can relax… sort of. The life of this family is never quiet for too long.
However, saving the world from the apocalypse comes with a catch, since none of our superheroes have their superpowers anymore. This isn’t ideal if something else requires them.
Maybe this brave new world has a new team of dysfunctional super-powered people watching over it? It’s impossible to tell, but there’s definitely more to the story yet. The only thing left is to figure out when we’ll see them. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming season…
When is the Umbrella Academy season 4 coming out?
Netflix announced on August 25, 2022, that The Umbrella Academy has been renewed for a fourth season. However, this will also be the show’s last season.
A statement showrunner Steve Blackman said, “I am thrilled that the incredibly loyal fans of The Umbrella Academy will be able to experience the fitting conclusion of the Hargreeves siblings’ journey.”
We’ve got an amazing story ahead for season four, one that will keep fans on the edge of their seats until the very end.”

What a great promise!
Ben was definitely up to something over in Korea, based on the end credits sequence.
Netflix titles don’t seem to follow a recurring release schedule like many other titles. The Umbrella Academy aired its first season in February 2019, the second in July 2020, and the third in mid-June 2022 (blame COVID).
If we are going for the rough June/July slot, that may be when we see the show next, with our guess being that it won’t arrive until 2024 (sorry, but it takes a lot of effort to assemble a dozen-strong cast and use visual effects to make it work). It won’t be ready in a year unless they begin filming soon.)
There is no doubt that the cast will miss the show just as much as we will. In an interview with PopCulture.com, Allison Hargreaves actress Emmy Raver-Lampman discussed hanging up her apocalyptic hat.
As sad as I’m going to be to say goodbye to these characters, I’m already looking forward to the final day on set. I’m going to be a wreck, but I’m also grateful that this is our final season.”
We shouldn’t take a moment of being together for granted, she said.
“We get to give these characters and the fans of the show an ending that they all deserve because a lot of shows don’t get that chance and I think we’re all feeling very lucky to be able to film one more time in Toronto and tie it up with a very dysfunctional, yet pretty bow.”
It’s now just a matter of waiting for its release. We’ll let you know when it’s the time!
What is the cast of The Umbrella Academy season 4?
It wouldn’t be the same without… The Umbrella Academy. At least the ones who are alive.
As far as we know, this is as follows:
• #1 – Luther (played by Tom Hopper)
• #2 – Diego (played by David Castañeda)
• #4 – Klaus (played by Robert Sheehan)
• #5 – Number Five (played by Aidan Gallagher)
• #7 – Viktor (played by Elliot Page)
Viktor comes out to his family and embraces his male identity in season three, following Elliot Page’s transition. It has been praised by fans and Elliot alike for its simple acknowledgment rather than making it the focus of the show.
It made a difference on set and was a display of allyship with their friend as he adjusts to his new life, according to Ritu Arya, who will also reprise her role as Lila.
As she told Glamour, “I’m so proud of the writers and Steve Blackman for how they wrote Elliot’s character this season.” It was done so sensitively.
The mere fact that it is written in that way shows allyship. It shows support for the community without being preachy; it’s just, ‘This is a person with a story.’ Showing that is all we want.”
As part of the cancellation announcement, other characters will return too, including those whose fates were uncertain.
It looks like Colm Feore, who plays manipulative genius/dad/alien Reginald Hargreeves, will return, as will Justin H Min as Ben. Despite her future is uncertain, Emmy Raver-Lampman, who plays Allison, has also been confirmed to return. After the season three finale, is she still alive?

We’d like to see other characters again, but we’re not sure if we will. Stanley (Euphoria’s Javon Walton), Lila and Diego’s fake child vanished as part of the kugelblitz (after accidentally killing his uncle Klaus and revealing his immortality, so there are silver linings).
Luther is now on a mission to find his new wife Sloane (played by Genesis Rodriguez). It is also likely that Jordan Claire Robbins, who plays Grace, the family android and de facto mother figure, will return.
We wouldn’t rule out the possibility of someone turning up again at some point, even if they’ve been killed off (especially considering the wall between alive and dead).
In addition, extra casting will be announced in due course, and we’ll keep you posted as soon as we know more.
The Umbrella Academy season 4 plot: What will happen?
There is no doubt that there will be a new apocalypse for the team to deal with, but at the moment little is known about how the world stands and what could happen.
All we know is that none of them have their powers anymore, which could spell trouble if the end of the world returns. Luther is on a mission to find Sloan, who didn’t appear with the rest of the gang through the elevator doors after his wedding (and then dying and coming back to life inexplicably).
After years as badass superheroes, can Diego and Lila actually live a normal life after years as badasses?
Is Allison alive or dead after being sent into a new world with his daughter Claire and husband Ray at the same time? There’s a chance she’s moved on to her own personal heaven… and if she’s pulled out of that, we don’t think she’s going to take that well. This is especially true considering what a dark path she was on before.
However, the world we’ve seen her in isn’t realistic. Although Ray and Claire exist in the same timeline, they live in different eras. Season three reveals that Claire’s husband, Ray, died before she returned to the present day. As a result of her relationship with her ex-husband Steve, Claire was born… something had to give.
Viktor will also be dealing with life without Allison, the sibling he was arguably closest to before and after his transition (at least initially). As he adjusts to his new life, he may also find love or a family of his own. It won’t be long before we find out.
In addition, Reginald Hargreeves has finally reunited with his late wife, making the whole idea of messing with time and space itself seem oddly romantic when you think about it. His attempts to get her back created a potential genocide.
Now that they’re back together, what does Reginald plan to do? Can he ignore the chaos he’s created and the lives he’s ruined in order to live a somewhat quiet life?
When will the Umbrella Academy season 4 trailer be released?
It’s impossible to find the trailer for season four of The Umbrella Academy as of August 2022, unless you ask Five to jump through some time-loopy apocalypse madness.
Filming hasn’t even started yet, so we’re a bit off, we’re afraid. We’ll let you know as soon as it’s added to our timeline.
We’ll update this as soon as we hear anything.
Where can I watch Umbrella Academy season 4?
On Netflix, you can watch The Umbrella Academy right now.
Will The Umbrella Academy have a fifth season?
It’s back for a fourth and final season of The Umbrella Academy. Steve Blackman, the show’s creator, and showrunner will executive produce the series’ goodbye season, which will feature the entire Hargreeves family.
