What will bring the “The Umbrella Academy” together for one last fight? The villains are familiar and strange in this final season of Netflix’s popular series. The Hargreeves siblings may be far away from one another but forces are conspiring to bring about an unavoidable reunion. The project comes from Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá’s Dark Horse comic book series. Both are co-executive producers on this live-action adaptation.

This season sees the return of fan favorites along with a host of welcome additions. Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H. Min, Ritu Arya, Colm Feore, Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, and David Cross make up the stellar cast.
The series’ official season four synopsis:
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.
There’s one last chance to change the world when the fourth and final season of “The Umbrella Academy” debuts. The series premieres on Netflix on August 8. Watch the new trailer below.
