The Umbrella Academy season 4 preview, release time, and what's next in the final season

As a die-hard fan of The Umbrella Academy who has been following this intriguing series since its debut, I must say that the anticipation for season 4 is simply palpable! With my years of binge-watching experience under my belt (and a few gray hairs to show for it), I can confidently assure you that the final eight episodes will not disappoint.


If you’re a fan of “The Umbrella Academy,” the quirky Netflix series adapted from the comic book of the same name, here’s some exciting and not-so-exciting news for you! The good part is that the show is making its comeback after more than two years with a new season. However, there’s a twist – this upcoming season will be the last one! “The Umbrella Academy” follows the Hargreeves family, a group of adopted siblings with superpowers who unite each season to prevent the apocalypse and other perils from destroying the world.

It’s not hard to understand why The Umbrella Academy has been a go-to series for the streaming platform, given its robust cast, unique narrative style, and fantastic music. Despite the third season, released in June 2022, falling short of my expectations, I’m still thrilled about the forthcoming fourth season. I can hardly wait to see how the writers will wrap up the story arcs, particularly after the timeline reset at the end of season 3, and hope they can bring a fitting conclusion to this show!

What to expect from season 4

Netflix has unveiled both a sneak peek and a complete trailer for the fourth season of The Umbrella Academy. If you haven’t caught up on them, it’s high time! Get a glimpse into what’s coming up in these last eight episodes by checking out this preview:

Continuing the narrative after The Umbrella Academy’s third season finale, the fourth season unfolds in a timeline where the Hargreeves family members no longer possess their superpowers. As a result, they must forge new paths and discover their revised roles. However, based on the trailers, it seems that they will still embark on joint missions. It appears that the siblings have reunited for a reason, though we’re yet to learn what that motive might be.

As I watch the season 4 trailer unfold, it’s clear that trouble is brewing for my character this time around, as it seems like the apocalypse is on the horizon once more. It’s a certainty that my siblings will regain their powers somehow, perhaps by jumping through timelines or some other means – though I can’t say for how long we’ll have these abilities. There’s a snippet where Viktor displays his powers, and another where I’m seen with tentacles! It looks like Five is getting laser eye powers in the blink of an eye!

In the opening segment, Reginald’s voiceover assures us that “our world is evolving.” He unveils the debut group of The Umbrella Academy, even though it’s unclear who he’s addressing. Additionally, glimpses of Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, and David Cross are shown in the previews, joining the cast for the final season.

In the trailer, it appears that Diego spins a young girl near a piñata, possibly his daughter. However, it’s also possible this is not his current timeline. The teaser hints at the upcoming “final timeline,” and we’re eagerly anticipating it!

Here’s the official synopsis for the fourth and final season, courtesy of Netflix:

The Hargreeves siblings have scattered after the climactic showdown at the Hotel Oblivion led to a complete reset of their timeline. Stripped of their powers, each is left to fend for themselves and find a new normal — with wildly varying degrees of success. Yet the trappings of their uncanny new world prove too hard to ignore for very long. Their father Reginald, alive and well, has stepped out of the shadows and into the public eye, overseeing a powerful and nefarious business empire. A mysterious association known as The Keepers holds clandestine meetings believing the reality they’re living in is a lie and a great reckoning is coming. As these strange new forces conspire around them, the Umbrella Academy must come together one last time — and risk upsetting the shaky peace they’ve all endured so much to secure — to finally set things right.
