After five wonderfully rain-soaked years, it’s almost time to bid farewell to Netflix’s beloved superhero show The Umbrella Academy – and now we know when we’ll do so.
Per a Netflix press release, the final season of the hit series will launch on the world’s best streaming service on Thursday, August 8. That date marks the joint-latest date that a season of The Umbrella Academy has debuted on the platform. Indeed, the show’s debut outing was also released on this date in 2019, so it’s somewhat fitting that it’ll go out with a bang five years to the day since its grand arrival.
The release date reveal was accompanied by a bunch of official posters for The Umbrella Academy season 4. The artwork, which you can view in the X/Twitter post below, shows two versions of its main cast walking from left to right – the iteration on the left being the season 1 edition of each character, and the right-hand side one showing what they’ll look like in its fourth and final entry.

Unsurprisingly, the series’ nine major characters are carrying an umbrella – indeed, eight of them are seen holding black umbrellas, with Klaus (aka Number Four) the anomaly among the group; the eccentric superpowered individual holding a pink one instead.
Despite the fact it’ll be back on our screens in under six months’ time, there’s very little we know about The Umbrella Academy season 4. Netflix is keeping its story close to its chest, with few details leaking out during and after the final season’s production.
In fact, the only information we’ve gleaned about one of the best Netflix shows‘ final installments is news that Netflix has actually released. That includes a trio of new season 4 cast announcements in February 2023, confirmation that The Umbrella Academy season 4 would debut in 2024, and that season 4’s first clip teased an intoxicating family reunion.
