Is The Umbrella Academy Coming Back for Season 5?
Get ready for some mixed feelings! We're all into The Umbrella Academy, those wacky, messed-up super siblings, but things took a super sad turn at the end of Season 4, so you're probably wondering - is that the end of it all for the Hargreeves family?
Is This The Final Season?
This was the plan. You read right, they are done with the show. The end of Season 4 felt super heavy - because it turns out it's going to be the last! The creators are totally okay with this one, too. You have to keep in mind: it's not just about the Apocalypse - it's about all those awesome details, and those super powered kids!
What's Going on with "The Umbrella Academy Season 4" Reception?
- The ending had fans buzzing, because things did go dark in that finale. We are seeing that Season 4's Rotten Tomatoes score isn't exactly as great as the others - but you gotta know that this was almost inevitable. They weren't so satisfied with it!
- Fans of the show are disappointed because it only had six episodes! You might think - six more episodes won't change a ton. The problem is, it makes fans think this one is gonna be super rushed, and everyone just wishes they'd had more!
Was The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Really Necessary?
They kind of wrapped it up! The story was built around these weird superheroes that, every time, saved the universe. This might be why it felt a little weird in season four - the whole "end of the world" plot had been overdone, right? But the thing is - it's not all just about those apocalyptic twists.
- We've seen tons of shows get cancelled, so The Umbrella Academy has a real advantage for having a Season 4 in the first place!
What About a "The Umbrella Academy" Spin-Off?
That's a question everyone is asking! There is hope. Netflix's been playing around with spin-offs from their most popular shows.
- The Umbrella Academy has got a ton of awesome stories and cool details that could spin off. Just imagine how many different things they could explore - The Commission! That place that keeps the timeline in order! That would be pretty cool. They could make something about Reginald and Abigail, who, in reality, were aliens, and how they destroyed their home planet!
- It really all comes down to how well Netflix believes the spin-offs will work!
- Even with a spin-off, you are probably going to miss The Umbrella Academy's season four! It will feel like a huge gap in the show. And you gotta wonder, without them fixing the world over and over, - that whole 'saving the world' theme, it just won't be the same!
There you have it - the story of The Umbrella Academy has a bittersweet ending, and a lot of questions left unanswered. Even so, you are guaranteed to love this amazing series, created from the incredible The Umbrella Academy Comic Book by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá.
