The Umbrella Academy will end with season 4
polygon.comThe Umbrella Academy is getting a fourth season — and it will be the show’s final one. Based on Gerard Way’s comic of the same name, the series first premiered in 2019. It follows seven superpowered siblings who keep having to save the world from ending, albeit in completely different circumstances each time. The most recent season premiered this summer.

So far, the returning cast includes Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H. Min, Ritu Arya, and Colm Feore.
