According to ComicBook, cast members of Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy reflect on the filming of the final season. The final season wrapped up any loose ends the series had that confused many fans, but although this was the case, fans were still left unpleased. During an interview with Comicbook, some cast members talked about the season and the final episode, which confused many. *Spoilers ahead*
David Castañeda (Poker Face), who plays Diego, said, “I think we all had our own interpretation of what that felt (like). I saw people very, you know, tearful and then other people were sort of just OK with it. I mean, I personally was trying to pinch myself and be like, wait, maybe I should be feeling a lot worse in this moment because…
Justin H. Min (Beef), who plays Ben, added, “As an actor or as Diego?”
Castañeda said, “No, as an actor shooting that whole scene I was like, wait, this is the last time we’re doing this. Is it? And so trying to wrap my head around that was, yeah, it didn’t feel so sad.”
Elliot Page (Juno), who plays Viktor, added, “It actually really hit me when I was doing ADR and doing the ADR for that final moment and then realizing, oh, this will be the last time as, as Victor like this is it and going back to work with these wonderful people and so much of the crew that we’ve worked with for years and years. It also hit me a bit later as well because I think we also just feel it so lucky we got four seasons and we’re fortunate as Justin was saying earlier to go into the fourth also knowing it is your final and knowing you’re making something that hopefully has that kind of closure that fans are looking for.”
Tom Hopper (Black Sails), who plays Luther, said, “It was an ideal way to end it really for us as actors and as characters. It was an emotional one. It was in the middle of the night that we shot it as well.”
Robert Sheehan (Misfits), who plays Klaus, “I feel very fond of that moment….It was almost fourth wall breaking that final scene because it was us, the characters and also us as our real selves, real characters sort of going, I’m gonna miss you. I love you and saying things that perhaps this Hargreaves siblings weren’t able to say to each other before because it was too on the nose and too sincere to each other while we’re doing it.”
All seasons of The Umbrella Academy are available on Netflix.
