THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY’s Final Season Promises An Epic End!

By Matthew Klein | June 12 2024 | Graphic NovelsGeneral

 

Come witness the final timeline…The Umbrella Academy has been a seminal hit for Netflix since its debut in 2019 and it’s promising to go out in a blaze of glory when the final six episodes drop to the streaming behemoth on August 8th. At the end of last season, the Hargreeves had their powers taken away with a universe reset. How will they fare in this new continuity? What kind of rescue mission will they embark on as promised in this first teaser? One thing’s for certain, the show’s beating heart about found family, acceptance, and overcoming the unimaginable by utilizing the impossible will be on full display.

Based on the Dark Horse Comics series created by Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance legend) and Gabriel Bá (Daytripper) The Umbrella Academy is about a group of kids with superpowers adopted into an unconventional family who’re tasked to save the world. Simple premise? Sure. As the best stories tend to be. Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H. Min, Ritu Arya and Colm Feore all are back for great family dysfunction and trippy action sequences.

After two years since the third season premiered on our screens let’s all savor our last journey through this universe of chances. For more about the series that inspired the show, pick up some of the graphic novels below…
