Further casting news will be announced at a later date.

The fourth and final season, consisting of 6 episodes, of The Umbrella Academy was announced in August 2022 and will begin filming in February 2023.

Steve Blackman had the following to say about the fourth season:

“I’m so excited that the incredibly loyal fans of The Umbrella Academy will be able to experience the fitting end to the Hargreeves siblings’ journey we began five years ago. But before we get to that conclusion, we’ve got an amazing story ahead for season four, one that will have fans on the edge of their seats until the final minutes.”

We aren’t expecting to see the fourth and final season of The Umbrella Academy on Netflix until 2024. This is because filming has been confirmed to begin on February 6th, 2023, and will end on May 19th, 2023. With several months of post-production to come, we would expect to see the final season arrive on Netflix in Q1 or Q2 of 2024.
