The Umbrella Academy’s main cast has teased what fans can expect from the popular Netflix series' final season.
In an interview-style featurette released as part of Netflix’sGeeked Week 2023celebrations, the show’s eight primary actors offered vague hints at what’s to come inThe Umbrella Academyseason 4. Unfortunately, most of what was said was pretty standard from a tease perspective, with words and phrases including “excitement”, “the best season yet”, “bittersweet”, and “wacky” used to try and whet fans' appetite for the show’s next installment.
There were, though, a couple of intriguing hints from some of theNetflixseries' cast. Tom Hopper, who plays Luther Hargreeves, claimed it’ll “hit the ground running” and “put the [Hargreeves] siblings through the usual amount of mayhem”, which suggests we won’t be waiting around for season 4 to get going.
In ourreview ofThe Umbrella Academyseason 3, we pointed out its frustrating pacing issues, so fingers crossed that its successor rectifies that error by allowing the Hargreeves family to get straight into the thick of season 4’s mystery and action.
Elsewhere, Emmy Raver-Lampman teased a new cohort of antagonists for the Hargreeves family to deal with, saying “there’s some unbelievable new characters and new villains, who are super exciting”. Considering that the primary antagonists inThe Umbrella Academyhave largely been a) the tiresome, cliched world-ending apocalypse and b) their own father, aka Sir Reginald Hargreeves, it’s high time one of thebest Netflix showsbranched out and gave us some compelling villains to love to hate, even if it’s in the series' final season.
That’s not the only news to emerge out of Geeked Week concerningThe Umbrella Academyseason 4. Netflix also unveiled the first teaser art for its last hurrah, which you can watch below.
