The Hargreeves family prepares for one last ride in the first trailer for The Umbrella Academy’s final season.
Full spoilers follow for The Umbrella Academy seasons two and three.
Netflix has unveiled the first trailer for The Umbrella Academy season four – and it seems that the Hargreeves family are going to bow out with an almighty bang in the show’s final season.
With just two months to go before The Umbrella Academy’s final installment launches (it’s out on Thursday, August 8), the streaming giant has finally given us some footage to pore over before the hit series ends. Based on what’s shown, we can expect more dysfunctional and chaotic family drama, the group powering back up after they lost their superhuman abilities in the season three finale, and one final mission to – yep, you guessed it – save the world from another apocalyptic event.
Curiously, the teaser subverts our expectations about what we’d expected to see in the superhero show’s final entry. Season three’s final episode indicated that Sir Reginald Hargreeves – the group’s adoptive father who, as we know from The Umbrella Academy season two, is also a merciless extraterrestrial – would be the major villain of season four. It seems, though, that he’ll be actively helping his foster children to regain their powers to prevent another potentially world-ending event.
The Hargreeves children will need to reacquire said abilities, too, given what Netflix has teased about its plot. « The Hargreeves siblings have scattered after the climactic showdown at the Hotel Oblivion led to a complete reset of their timeline, » Netflix’s story brief reads.
