After a long wait, The Umbrella Academy Season 4 landed on Netflix on August 8. Fans are now left wondering whether this is the end of the wild, action-packed series filled with surprising plot twists or if we can expect a Season 5.
Since its debut in 2019, The Umbrella Academy has captivated audiences with its unique blend of superhero action and dark comedy. The show is based on the comics created by Gerard Way, the lead singer of My Chemical Romance. It follows a group of seven super-powered individuals who were adopted and trained by an eccentric billionaire after his death.
However, as the series has progressed, the story has evolved so much that the original setup might feel like just a small piece of a much bigger puzzle by the time we reach Season 4.
Will Netflix Release Umbrella Academy Season 5?
Season 4 of The Umbrella Academy, which premieres on Netflix on August 8, will be the show’s final chapter, marking the end of its five-year run. There will be no Season 5.
The decision to conclude the series with Season 4 was announced back in 2022, shortly after Season 3 aired. This final season has been heavily promoted as “The Final Season” and “The Final Timeline,” with much of the marketing emphasizing the end of the series.
For example, recent character posters have featured captions like “One last [character-specific noun],” highlighting the finality of the season. Here’s what each character’s poster says:
- Luther: “One last trip to the moon”
- Diego: “One last slice and dice”
- Allison: “One last starring role”
- Klaus: “One last cleanse”
- Five: “One last time jump”
- Ben (likely Sparrow Ben): “One last fight”
- Viktor: “One last chance to save the world”
- Lila: “One last disguise”
- Reginald: “One last family reunion”
As for what to expect in Season 4, the Hargreeves family has already traveled through time multiple times and are now in their second alternate universe. Previously, they were de-powered in the new universe, but the recent trailer shows them using their powers again. Lila even appears to have a new power—laser vision—that fans haven’t seen before.
Ben is set to play a crucial role this season, described as “the key to understanding all the timelines” and appearing prominently in many scenes. Interestingly, the trailer reveals that the Hargreeves family is still unaware of how Umbrella Academy Ben died. The last time we saw Sparrow Academy Ben, he was on a subway reading a book about pottery.
It looks like the final season will cover a lot of ground and bring many storylines to a close
