Umbrella Academy S4
Posted By:

No, there's no word yet from Netflix yet on The Umbrella Academy's season 4 renewal.

But in an interview (warning - it contains spoilers) with The Wrap showrunner Steve Blackman has revealed that if renewed season 4 might be the final.

Having hungrily devoured season 3 as quickly as humanly possible - we love the show - and knowing how it ends, his statement doesn't surprise us.

It may even be slightly reassuring because where they leave season 3 looks like they're approaching answers to some of the series' biggest questions.

And a natural end point.

Assuming it could maintain its quality we might watch it forever, but everything ends and not many shows boast a truly satisfying ending.

Amazon are explicitly building their own superhero franchise built around The Boys, with an animated anthology series and another spin-off in development which they cheekily call the VCU (Vought Cinematic Universe).

In reference to Disney's MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe).

Any hint of the same possibility for Netflix and the Academy.

Not in this interview.

Though in the original season one timeline other babies with powers were known to be born and more was revealed about the source thereof in the season three finale.

We reckon there's spin-off potential.

The first three seasons of The Umbrella Academy are available now on Netflix.
