Umbrella Academy Season 4: Plot | Why Was The Ending Confusing?

The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Plot

Without a trailer or synopsis, it’s hard to know what will happen in The Umbrella Academy season 4, but the way season 3 ended gives us a pretty good idea of what might happen.

One of the things we’ll see in the season 3 finale is how the Hargreeves’ decision to start over with the universe changed things. Also, the scene during the credits makes it look like Umbrella Ben is back, but Sparrow Ben is still there, making things more complicated.

We might also learn more about how Umbrella Ben died. Reginald’s dead wife Abigail seems to have come back from the dead, and Luther is looking for Sloane, who went missing at the end of season 3.

We may find out what kind of deal Reginald made with Alison. Her husband from 1963, Ray, shows up at the end of season 3, so we can assume this has something to do with it, and we may find out how Reginald was able to make this happen.

Oh, and we can be sure that something that will end the world is also on the way. Check out our article about the end of season 3 of The Umbrella Academy for more information.

The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Cast

It’s hard to imagine The Umbrella Academy without the Hargreeves siblings, so it seems likely that Elliot Page (Viktor), Tom Hopper (Luther), David Castaeda (Diego), Emmy Raver-Lampman (Alison), Robert Sheehan (Klaus), and Aidan Gallagher (Five) will be back, as will Justin H. Min, though the mid-credits scene of season 3 made it unclear.

It looks like Colm Feore will be back as Reginald Hargreeves, and the season 3 finale made it seem like Reginald’s dead wife Abigail had come back from the dead. Abigail was played briefly in season 1 by Liisa Repo-Martell.

Ritu Arya is likely to be back as Lila, the Handler’s adopted daughter and Diego’s love interest, and Yusuf Gatewood is likely to be back as Ray, Alison’s husband from 1963.

Genesis Rodriguez, who plays Sloane, one of the remaining Sparrows along with Ben, went missing at the end of season 3, so it’s not clear if she’s still alive and if she’ll be back for a possible season 4.

The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Release Date

Season 4 of The Umbrella Academy hasn’t been ordered yet, so it’s hard to say when it might come to Netflix. But we can guess: between seasons 2 and 3, there was a break of just under two years, and between seasons 1 and 2, there was a break of about a year and a half.

Since Season 3 came out in June 2022, we could expect new episodes between December 2023 and June 2024.

The End of the Third Season of the Umbrella Academy Was Another Cliffhanger! So, What’s the Next Step?

The Umbrella Academy, Netflix’s sci-fi drama based on the comics, finished season 3 on an even more confusing note than season 2’s.

A fourth season is inevitable, so don’t worry about unanswered questions. We’re stuck theorizing.

Summarize. After returning from 1960s Dallas to the present, the Umbrella Academy team joins forces with Sparrow Academy to avoid another catastrophe.

This new doomsday is the collapse of the entire universe, thanks to a “Kügelblitz” caused by the Umbrella Academy’s impossible presence in another realm.

In Sparrow Academy’s reality, the Umbrella Academy’s parents were killed before they were born. Therefore, they can’t exist. So, their existence makes the universe so enraged that it eats itself. (Everyone experiences existential crises.)

After the Kügelblitz devours most of reality, including numerous Sparrow Academy members and an adoptive son named Stan (RIP), The Umbrella Academy is back under their dad’s control.

He convinces them to commit suicide in Hotel Oblivion to reset the universe. Once they’ve defeated the hotel guards, Reggie drains his children’s energy to power a strange contraption.

Allison slashes his face in revenge. But his death doesn’t stop her from pressing a Big Red Button and—maybe—resetting the cosmos. When she insists on that button, everyone escapes alive…but transformed.

Allison’s husband Ray and daughter Claire now share the same timeline, which is impossible as Ray lived in the 1960s and Claire in the 2010s. But Sloane is absent. The others have lost their powers.
