The beloved superhero television series was announced to be ending earlier this year, with its fourth season being its last. According to Comicbook.com, star Tom Hopper (Merlin, Game of Thrones) has teased how fans can expect the series to close. Unlike many other Netflix originals which have been cancelled without warning in the past, The Umbrella Academy was previously announced to be ending ahead of time earlier this year.
The Umbrella Academy, based on the comic book series of the same name written by My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way features a remarkable ensemble cast boasting actors such as Hopper, Elliot Page (Beyond: Two Souls, Close To You) and John Magaro (Past Lives, Orange is the New Black). Speaking with Comicbook.com about the series’ final season, Hopper shared that “I think there’s going to definitely be some things that you already love. These siblings, I feel like one big thing that the reason that the show’s become a hit is because people have fell in love with the siblings, and their relationship to each other and how fun that is… And there’s bucket loads of that, so that you won’t be disappointed at.”
He continued, “There is an ending, which I believe is a complete ending. I don’t think fans will be disappointed with how it ends. Whether they’ll be a little bit sad and broken, I don’t know, because it was certainly emotional for us as actors doing it. I was very sad to finish it because I’ve fallen in love with that show and the character and the journey he’s been on, and I’ve fallen in love with my siblings on that show. I’m still super tight to all of them, so it will be something that lives on for all of us, and I just hope that the fans feel satisfied.”
The fourth and final season of The Umbrella Academy drops in entirety on Netflix 0n August 8th at 12 AM PT/ 3 AM ET. While fans of the beloved series wait for its final season later this summer, the first three seasons are currently available to stream on Netflix.
