The Umbrella Academy just dropped its season 3 on Netflix to great hype. It deserves the hype given the dysfunctional siblings were returning for yet another adventure after a long gap. The third season delved into the family, transitioning, upbringing and trauma. The last two episodes upped the ante and the season closed with some major plot twists. Steve Blackman the creator of The Umbrella Academy series revealed some of the doubts regarding season 4. 

More time traveling, and more adventure in The Umbrella Academy season 4 

Steve Blackman revealed that they are awaiting Netflix’s approval for another season. The streamer hasn’t picked up the show for another season yet. However, there are still a lot of unfinished storylines and questions that need answers and Steve already has everything mapped out for the next season. Apparently, when he started working on the adaptation he knew he would four seasons. “So, I have a really good sense of what season four would be, and it should be just as bonkers as the other seasons — what a challenge these superheroes, this family has being powerless.” he disclosed.

The siblings might find themselves in a reprogrammed universe in the next season 

The season ended with Allison’s betrayal to get back her daughter Claire and husband Raymond. Reginald also got back his dead wife. Since Reginald reprogrammed the universe, Claire, Raymond, and Reginald’s wife could exist in the same timeline. Steve shared that they might delve more into the reprogrammed universe next season once Netflix greenlights it. 

“The intention is that this timeline, whatever we’re in now, has merged people from other timelines into one and that may or may not have repercussions in the future,” he added.

Since we already saw a darker version of Reginald this season, his newly returned wife will make for an interesting premise next season. The creator also wishes to explore more of the superheroes’ struggle without powers and how their powers evolve as they grow. Allison’s betrayal and revenge on Viktor by killing Harlan will continue to loom over The Umbrella Academy season 4.
