Attention Umbrella Academy fans! Netflix has announced the release date for the show’s fourth and final season. Based on the Dark Horse Comics created and written by Gerard Way and illustrated by Gabriel Bá, the series follows a dysfunctional family of superpowered beings who reunite after their father’s mysterious death.
Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H. Min, Ritu Arya, and Colm Feore star as the lovable Hargreeves siblings.
In August 2022, it was announced that the sci-fi dramedy would return for one final adventure following its exciting season three finale. “I’m so excited that the incredibly loyal fans of The Umbrella Academy will be able to experience the fitting end to the Hargreeves siblings’ journey we began five years ago,” showrunner Steven Blackman said in a statement at the time. “But before we get to that conclusion, we’ve got an amazing story ahead for season four, one that will have fans on the edge of their seats until the final minutes.” Since that fateful day, news regarding the fourth season’s premiere date has been kept under wraps until now.
On 15 February, Netflix took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and surprised fans by announcing that the new batch of episodes will drop on 8 August.
