The Umbrella Academy 4 (August 8)
The highly anticipated fourth and final season of The Umbrella Academy, the superhero series based on the comics created and written by Gerard Way, illustrated by Gabriel Bá and published by Dark Horse Comics, arrives on Netflix this week. What to expect? A fitting finale for a series that has captured audiences’ hearts from the start. The Hargreeves brothers have been separated since the epic battle at Hotel Oblivion resets their timeline. Stripped of their powers, they must now fend for themselves and start a new life… with very different results. However, the peculiarities of their new, disturbing world prove too much to ignore for long. Their father Reginald, alive and well, has emerged from the shadows and is now in full view of everyone, running a powerful and nefarious empire. A mysterious organization known as the Keepers holds clandestine meetings, believing that the reality they all live in is a lie and that a reckoning is imminent. As these strange new forces conspire, the members of the Umbrella Academy must reunite one last time—even at the risk of disrupting the fragile peace they’ve worked so hard to secure—to save this once and for all.
