Additionally, showrunner Blackman confirmed that the Ben we saw in Season 3’s post-credits scene is Sparrow Ben, “but how that works and why we’re seeing him will be a Season 4 reveal.” He also revealed that Allison is in the same timeline, but now with Ray and Claire existing in such timeline.
The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Plot: What Is the Final Season About?
A preliminary plotline for The Umbrella Academy Season 4 was provided via What’s on Netflix:
“After landing on Earth, an alien being disguises himself as a wealthy businessman and begins to recruit superpowered humans to train for a mission to save the world. When the alien dies, the superheroes reunite to carry out the mission.”
Additionally, by the end of Season 3, we know that the Hargreeves siblings no longer have their powers, but many events are surely going to make them want to have their powers again.
Talking about what would happen in The Umbrella Academy Season 4, showrunner Blackman said:
“… the siblings losing their powers isn’t going to be the only oddity in this timeline. There are new enemies who want to see them wiped out of existence, but how do they manage without their powers? Is there even a way to get them back? The stakes have never been greater.”
