It is hard but delightful to imagine that this Dark Horse Comic series from the frontman from My Chemical Romance, one that languished as a movie in development hell for years, has finally made it into a critically acclaimed, long-running series that will get to go out on its own terms.Most of the Sparrow Academy met pretty untimely ends (their Number One played by Justin Cornwell was done dirty, if you ask me) in Season 3. Wrapping up The Umbrella Academy with season four allows the creators to complete their story and give fans a satisfying ending. The earliest it will premiere is likely the fall of 2023 or even as late as sometime in 2024. This lines up with comments made by series showrunner Steve Blackman, who revealed that he always had four seasons in mind.Ĭurrently, no release date has been set for The Umbrella Academy season four, and filming has not started, so it remains unclear when the series will return. Netflix also confirmed that The Umbrella Academy season four would be the last one for the series. This was two months after season three premiered on Netflix. Thankfully that was not the case, and Netflix renewed The Umbrella Academyon August 25, 2022. Viktor puts his faith in Allison, and Viktor is often the voice of reason in the family, so his decision implies Allison might still find redemption. She is about to reset the universe, and while Five wants to stop her, Viktor decides not to when Allison tells him to trust her. While it seemed like Allison's arc for the entire series was a play on the classic comic book trope of a hero turning bad (Jean Grey in The Dark Phoenix Saga, Hal Jordan Green Lantern becoming Parallax), just like many of those storylines, it appears she finds some sort of villain redemption arc by turning on Harlan.

She turned on Viktor, the family member Allison had become the closest to when she discovered his lie. While she embraced her more violent impulses with Diego beating up a group of racists, the real darkness came out when he manipulated Luther against his will to kiss her, and when she murdered Harlan when she discovered he was the one who killed their parents, thus resulting in the grandfather paradox that prevented her daughter from being born. Now, though, he had everything he needed and manipulated his children from both timelines even further to accomplish his goal. Likely when Ben died in the original timeline, Hargreeves realized his plan would never come to pass, explaining his further detachment and eventual death. ![]() It also needed seven individuals with powers who could be drained to help reset the universe. The machine in the Hotel Obsidian seems to be some ancient alien console. Hargreaves's plan was eventually revealed, as he was an alien who needed the seven children to enter the Hotel Obsidian, which hid the key to resetting the universe. ![]() However, they find they have been replaced by The Sparrow Academy, as Hargreeves decided to choose a different set of superpowered kids after he meets the Umbrellas in the '60s and was disappointed in them (he still recruits Ben, since he was not alive when they meet). The new season picked up with the Umbrellas running to the present timeline after their long trip back in 1963. By the end, the hotel and its residence are all that remains, and the team finds a way to reset the universe only to discover their adopted father Reginald Hargreeves has manipulated them to achieve his goal. Much of the series took place in the Hotel Obsidian (likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, making it easier to keep the cast isolated in one location) with the Umbrella Academy and the new Sparrow Academy coming into conflict before eventually uniting to save the universe, which is gradually being whipped away. The series focused on the team adjusting to this new reality they have found themselves in, facing another apocalypse, and the revelation that the young boy who the Umbrellas saved back in the 1960s, Harlan Cooper, acquired Viktor's (Elliot Page) powers and accidentally killed their parents, resulting in a grandfather paradox where they exist but were never born. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, production on season three of The Umbrella Academy was delayed, and the season finally premiered on June 22, 2022, almost two years after season two concluded.
