Between saving the world and reckoning with their own traumas, the characters of The Umbrella Academy truly keep us coming back time and time again. With each new season topping the ones before it, needless to say, the show’s continuous welcome reception isn’t a coincidence. That’s why we wouldn’t be shocked if you binged season 3 in, well, a record-breaking go!

So if you’re like us and also wondering whether season 4 is in the works over at Netflix, here are absolutely all of the public deets so far, from us to you.

First Things First: Will There Be a Season 4 of The Umbrella Academy?

Netflix finally revealed the big news and it might shock some fans. Not only has The Umbrella Academy been renewed for season 4, but it’s also set to be the final season of the series.

Plus, there’s the fact that showrunner Steve Blackman signed a huge multiyear deal with Netflix in 2020, so big things are to be expected from the mind behind the show, including a Horizon Zero Dawn adaptation!

What Would Season 4 Be About?

Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy has been pretty good about loosely following the body of work it’s based on, aka the series of comic books created and written by My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way and illustrated by Gabriel Bá. Season 3, for instance, pulled some of its materials from series 3 of the comic, The Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion; however, there *is* a new, fourth series of the comic that hasn’t been released. This could provide additional storylines if and when season 4 debuts. Exciting stuff, huh? Because we’re going into uncharted plot waters, it could also be the case that the TV show opts to move away from the comics into TV-specific storylines.

The cast also got together to give us some hints as to what we can expect as they wrapped up their final season. Netflix revealed the special behind-the-scenes clip as part of their 2023 Geeked Week and trust that it does not disappoint.

Who Are the Season 4 Cast Members?

Because season 3 ended in a reset universe, we wouldn’t be shocked if those who we thought were deceased made an appearance (@ Cazzie David, we’re looking at you!). However, it’s been confirmed that the OG Brellies—Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H. Min, Ritu Arya, and Colm Feore—are all set to return.

When Would Season 4 Hit Netflix?

Along with their special teaser, Netflix also dropped the season’s poster which will remind you about some major moments in time throughout the series. But the biggest thing is the release date which is confirmed to be in 2024. If only we can time travel there ourselves.
