“You’re on pace to end the world in about 48 hours.”
The fourth and final season of Netflix’s “The Umbrella Academy” is coming, and with it, the end of the world. Based on the popular graphic novels by Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance) and illustrated by Gabriel Bá, the show first hit the streaming service back in February of 2019.
The final season will consist of 6 episodes, which Netflix was kind enough to give titles and short descriptions for. The logline for each episode was written by series creator Steve Blackman, who was recently accused of some serious misconduct. (Two other Netflix series created by Blackman were cancelled.)
Episode 1
“The Unbearable Tragedy of Getting What You Want”
Who doesn’t love a good birthday party?
Episode 2
“Jean and Gene”
They both wear the pants in the relationship.
Episode 3
“The Squid and the Girl”
Two paths cross, one squid enters.
Episode 4
“The Cleanse”
There’s not enough sage in the universe, apparently.
Episode 5
“Six Years, Five Months, and Two Days”
The Hargreeves siblings find themselves doing the impossible: teaming up with their father.
Episode 6
“End of the Beginning”
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger … right?
Final Season Synopsis:
“The Hargreeves siblings have scattered after the climactic showdown at the Hotel Oblivion led to a complete reset of their timeline. Stripped of their powers, each is left to fend for themselves and find a new normal—with wildly varying degrees of success. Yet the trappings of their uncanny new world prove too hard to ignore for very long. Their father Reginald, alive and well, has stepped out of the shadows and into the public eye, overseeing 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. As these strange new forces conspire around them, 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.”
“The Umbrella Academy” seasons 1-3 are currently streaming on Netflix. Season 4 is set to hit August 8th, 2024. Check out the trailer below:
