Netflix has released the teaser trailer for the fourth and final season of The Umbrella Academy ahead of its premiere on August 8.
The trailer offers Brellies a first look at what’s in store for the coming season as the Hargreeves return for one last mission, navigating a new timeline loaded with chaos and hijinks, this time without their superpowers. One shot, however, shows Viktor with orange glowing hands, while another sees Ben using his tentacles.

The siblings will have to “fend for themselves and find a new normal with wildly varying degrees of success,” according to the show’s description. “Yet the trappings of their uncanny new world prove too hard to ignore for very long.” Meanwhile, their father, Reginald, is busy with “a powerful and nefarious business empire.”
“A mysterious association known as The Keepers holds clandestine meetings believing the reality they’re living in is a lie and a great reckoning is coming,” it adds. “The Umbrella Academy must come together one last time — and risk upsetting the shaky peace they’ve all endured so much to secure — to finally set things right.”
Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H. Min, Ritu Arya and Colm Feore all return to the series alongside newcomers Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally, playing Doctors Gene and Jean Thibedeau, and David Cross as a shy businessman named Sy Grossman.
The Umbrella Academy has been hugely popular for Netflix and has received praise from critics across all of its three seasons. IGN gave Season 3 a glowing review, calling it a “great” entry that “tells a more intimate and focused story” bolstered by the strength of “its complicated characters and excellent cast.”
The six-episode final season will premiere on Netflix on August 8, 2024. While you’re waiting, you can revisit Seasons 1–3 right here.
