The Umbrella Academy has entered its final timeline. Netflix has shared a teaser trailer for the fourth and last season of the series and announced it will premiere the episodes on Aug. 8. The trailer drops viewers into the aftermath of season three, where the Hargreeves siblings have lost their powers but continue to work together to save the world.
The official synopsis notes, “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.”

The Umbrella Academy was created for TV by Steve Blackman and is based on the Dark Horse comic book series by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá. It stars 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.
The third season of The Umbrella Academy, which premiered in 2022, altered Page’s character following the actor’s transition, giving the sibling, now named Viktor Hargreaves, their own transition.
Rolling Stone‘s Alan Sepinwall wrote, “This restrained approach comes as a pleasant surprise, if not a relief. There probably was an operatic and/or science-fiction route the seriescould have taken to this moment, but it would have required a far more delicate touch than Umbrella Academy typically possesses. By quickly presenting Viktor’s transition as a fact of life, allowing him a brief moment to describe his feelings, and then getting back to silly business as usual, the show takes its star’s transition seriously without getting in the way of its usual narrative or tonal choices.”
