If there’s one thing we’ve come to expect from The Umbrella Academy, it is explosive fights, confusing timelines, an apocalypse, and the most dysfunctional super-powered siblings to grace our screens.

After three seasons of almost apocalyptic events and sibling love-hate relationships, The Umbrella Academy returns for its grand finale in August. It’s clear that the ride is almost over, but it promises to be a wild one.

The show’s final season will debut on August 8, 2024. No trailer has been released yet, but we can expect one a month or two before its premiere date. No details about the plot have been released yet.

The third season left us all hanging on a pretty major cliffhanger. Our beloved Hargreeves siblings had just averted another apocalypse (because that’s what they do).

But now they found themselves in a strange new timeline where their powers were gone, and Reginald Hargreeves, their adoptive father, was alive and running the city – minus the adopting part.

This ending left fans buzzing with questions and theories, so it’s no wonder that the announcement of a fourth season brought more questions than answers.

However, one thing we can expect from The Umbrella Academy season 4 is what we usually get from the previous season: chaotic siblings. Of course, the show's final season will bring a lot of confusion and Daddy issues.

All seven Hargreeves siblings are coming back for the show’s finale season. The main cast that has been with the show throughout its run will all be returning, including Elliot Page, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Tom Hopper, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H. Min, David Castañeda and Ritu Arya.

With the ending of The Umbrella Academy season 3, we can expect Colm Feore as the ever-mysterious Reginald Hargreeves to return with his very alive wife, Abigail Hargreeves, played by Liisa Repo-Martell.

Season 4 will give fans closure

Netflix has yet to release an official synopsis for the fourth season, but fans can anticipate more of the show's signature plot twists, complex storytelling, and drama.

How will they adapt to life without their abilities? And what will happen when they confront Reginald in this alternate timeline? There are so many questions that need answers.

Luckily, in a recent interview, Justin H. Min, who plays Ben Hargreeves, hinted that the final season would offer a "sense of closure" to the series.

"So many shows unfortunately get prematurely canceled, but we knew going in this was gonna be our final season, so our writers and our showrunner had the opportunity to wrap up all the storylines.” Min shared with Collider.

Min also mentioned that the many questions raised by each season will finally be answered in the final one. With the opportunity to wrap up storylines on their terms, the cast and crew are ready to give fans the epic conclusion they deserve.
