The Umbrella Academy season 4 plot: What will happen in the final season?

Season 4 will end the series with a bang.

If there is one thing that is guaranteed for the final outing of The Umbrella Academy, it’s an epic soundtrack and a lot of plot twists. At the end of season 3, the remaining heroes had lost all their powers and found themselves in an alternative dimension in which their father had complete control of the world.

Without their powers, season 4 will likely focus on them getting back their abilities and taking down their father. However, how and when this happens is still very much a mystery.

It also wouldn’t be The Umbrella Academy without some romance. With Sloane disappearing, it’s expected that Luther will do his best to find his new wife. Furthermore, fan-favorite couple Lila and Diego will also be back and hopefully, better than ever.
