Umbrella Academy Season 4 Could Be Its Last, Says Showrunner
The showrunner of The Umbrella Academy says that a fourth season could be the show's last. Premiering exclusively on Netflix in 2019, The Umbrella Academy is a superhero time-travel series based on the comics of the same name, which are written by My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way.

The Umbrella Academy follows the Hargreeves, a dysfunctional family of superpowered siblings who must band together to save the world after they accidentally begin the apocalypse — twice. The show loosely follows arcs from the original comics, but with Way still writing new Umbrella Academy graphic novels, the third season marked a split between the show and the comics. The third season has created its own plot separate from Way's work, and Way's fourth volume of the series (entitled Sparrow Academy, which has yet to be released) will not follow the plot lines created by the show. With The Umbrella Academy being both critically acclaimed and adored by viewers, fans have been left wondering whether or not the series will be renewed for a fourth season.
