Show ‘Umbrella Academy’ to Power Up for Fourth and Final SeasonPlus, creator Steve Blackman has two exciting new series in development. Grab your briefcase — The Umbrella Academy is coming back for a fourth and final season. The entire Hargreeves family will return for the series’ goodbye season, which will be executive produced by creator and showrunner Steve Blackman. That means you’ll see Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H. Min, Ritu Arya (Lila is definitely an honorary Brellie, especially if you ask Diego) and Colm Feore reprise their roles as your favorite superpowered dysfunctional family in Season 4. That’s a relief, considering the precarious situation the Umbrella Academy found itself in with the Season 3 finale. Season 3 ended with our heroes stepping into a brand-new timeline — one where they were without powers, missing a few siblings (where were Allison and Sloane?) and already under the watchful eye of their dad, Reginald (Feore). Their answer to yet another impossible situation? Breaking up the proverbial band and going their own ways. In conversation with Tudum, Blackman spills all about what these twists will mean for Season 4, along with the details on his two exciting new series in development. As part of his extended creative partnership with Netflix, Blackman is developing space thriller Orbital and video game adaptation Horizon Zero Dawn. What can you tell us about Season 4’s new timeline? The Umbrella Academy is now in a new world, without their powers and seemingly split up. And Sloane is missing. That’s a lot of change. So, the siblings losing their powers isn’t going to be the only oddity in this timeline. There are new enemies who want to see them wiped out of existence, but how do they manage without their powers? Is there even a way to get them back? The stakes have never been greater. There’s
another new Ben to deal with. What does that Season 3 post-credits scene mean for Season 4? Can you tell us anything about how this Ben will differ from Umbrella Ben and Sparrow Ben? You have two exciting new series in development. Do they share any DNA with The Umbrella Academy? What
did you want to do differently this time around? From a character- and world-building perspective, there's a clear throughline: I gravitate to characters who are grounded and relatable but exist on the fringe. Outliers who struggle to find their place in a world of conformity and structure. All my stories strive to subvert expectation and find a new way of looking into the worlds we think we know. If these series gain the success of The Umbrella Academy, I'll be very happy. But we hope to push the envelope even more, especially when it comes to production where we'll be using the newest technologies available to bring these projects to screen. It's an enormous challenge but one that I'm truly excited about. Why did you want to adapt a game like Horizon Zero Dawn and what are you most excited to tell from the game’s story? And will Aloy be the main character in this series? And Orbital
takes us to space. Umbrella was such a unique superhero show. What makes a Steve Blackman space show? With my collaborators, David and Keith Lynch, we're creating a series that is unlike anything I've done before yet also shares my love of black humor, characters who live on the edge and wild action sequences. We can't reveal much more than this, but we can say for certain that there won't be any aliens. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Latest News
