Umbrella Academy Season 3

The last hurrah for the show entered into production in February this year, but the post production and special effects phase means there will have been a couple of years between seasons three and four.

And, while Netflix hasn’t given an exact date for the premiere, we can make an educated guess that it will be on the summer schedule. Season two debuted in July 2020, while the third was added to the platform in June 2022.

The entire cast returns for season 4, which will likely pick up from where the last series left off. Be warned, there be spoilers ahead…

Netflix announced the return of the show for its final season on X (formerly Twitter). A teaser video was posted on the official feed for the streaming service, plus the authorised The Umbrella Academy account.

The show has had a mixed response from viewers over the years, with some falling in love with its often surreal take on the superhero genre, while others prefer the comic book series on which it is based.

Critics have been kinder to the Netflix series, with both seasons 2 and 3 being awarded an average of 91% on Rotten Tomatoes.
