TheUmbrellaAcademy season 4 could be the end of the Netflix series according to showrunner Steve Blackman. 'I’m not saying I couldn’t do more, but you know, I think that would be very satisfying for the audience, four seasons.”
The showrunner of The Umbrella Academy says that a fourth season could be the show's last. Premiering exclusively on Netflix in 2019, The Umbrella Academy is a superhero time-travel series based on the comics of the same name, which are written by My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way. The show was renewed for a second season only a month after the first season's premiere, and season three was released on Netflix on June 22, 2022.
The Umbrella Academy follows the Hargreeves, a dysfunctional family of superpowered siblings who must band together to save the world after they accidentally begin the apocalypse - twice. The show loosely follows arcs from the original comics, but with Way still writing new Umbrella Academy graphic novels, the third season marked a split between the show and the comics.
“I think inevitably if we got a Season 4, it’s going towards an endgame. I think at a certain point, I’m not sure where we’d go after Season 4. We have to be careful. My plan for next year is not to continually tread on the same ground we have before. It’s a challenge to come up with a new way to subvert this storyline, and I think we have an idea how to do that. But I think if we got to Season 4, it would be a great ending for the run of the show.
Though The Umbrella Academy wasn't originally intended to have a strict four-season run, Blackman believes that four seasons would be just the right number. Netflix has not officially renewed the show yet, but considering The Umbrella Academy's massive popularity, it is likely that the series will be given a fourth season.
Unlike many popular series that take as many seasons as they can get , there is something to be said for a showrunner knowing when it's time to end the series. While fans are always going to want more and more, it's better to go out on a high note than to wait until the quality of the show begins to decline, and the show simply stops being renewed. But with Way continuing to write more and more comics, fans can rest assured that there is still plenty more of The Umbrella Academy to come.
