Season 4 Might Be the Final Season!
Showrunner Steve Blackman revealed in a recent interview that he already pitched his season 4 plans for Netflix and he thinks it would be a great ending for the series as a whole.
“I think inevitably if we got a Season 4, it’s going towards an endgame, I think at a certain point, I’m not sure where we’d go after Season 4. We have to be careful. My plan for next year is not to continually tread on the same ground we have before. It’s a challenge to come up with a new way to subvert this storyline, and I think we have an idea how to do that. But I think if we got to Season 4, it would be a great ending for the run of the show. I’m not saying I couldn’t do more, but you know, I think that would be very satisfying for the audience, four seasons.”
Blackman also said that he had a plan for the first four seasons of the show from the beginning and even the streaming service has knowledge of the contents of season 4.
“I know Season 4. I always pitch it to Netflix ahead of time before I sit down with the writers, so Netflix knows what I’m proposing for Season 4. I know the beginning middle and end, I know where we’re going to. Since I started ‘Umbrella,’ I only knew in my head what I thought the first four seasons are. I have no idea where I’m gonna go after Season 4 if we’re so lucky to have more of that. So I have four seasons of story in my head. I know where I want to go. I know where I want to end, and if we’re lucky enough, I hope the fans will get to see it. I don’t know if we’ll be at the end of the run or not. But either way, I have a plan.”
The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Plot Details
The showrunner has said he wants to explore what Umbrella Academy is like without super powers.
“I want to pose to the viewer and the fan, ‘Would they be happier without their powers?’ I mean, all they do is complain about being who they are,” the showrunner said. “So will Victor, will Diego be happy without it or will they feel like they’re missing an appendage? Will the world not be right for them anymore without powers? Can they be ‘normal’?”
Blackman also talked about the show universe which is now reset.
“How it is reset and the ways it will be reset is a place we’re going to be going to hopefully in Season 4.”
Given the fact that most recent Netflix shows were ending with 3-4 seasons, some even getting axed by the streamer mercilessly before reaching that point, there’s a fair chance that season 4 of Umbrella Academy can be the show’s final season.
