The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Gets Hopeful Update From Showrunner
The showrunner of The Umbrella Academy, Steve Blackman, has given an update on the show's potential season 4. Adapted from the Dark Horse comics of the same name, which are written by My Chemical Romance star Gerard Way, The Umbrella Academy is a Netflix series that debuted on the streaming service in 2019, and would become the most streamed series that year. The Umbrella Academy season 2 was then quickly confirmed, with the most recent season 3 releasing on June 22, 2o22.
Assembled into a dysfunctional, superpowered family by their adoptive father, The Umbrella Academy follows the seven Hargreeves siblings as they struggle to find their place in the world after a childhood of superhero fame. After their father dies, the family is brought back together just in time to save the world from ending, only to realize that they were the cause of the apocalypse. While the series has loosely followed the plot of Way's originals comics, The Umbrella Academy season 3 marked a divergence in the show's path. As Way is still writing new Umbrella Academy comics, the graphic novels and television adaptation are embarking on their own independent plot lines for the first time. Season 3 has received generally positive reviews from critics and fans alike, causing many to wonder already whether The Umbrella Academy season 4 is on its way.
