The Umbrella Academy is causing a storm now that the series has become one of the biggest hits for Netflix. But all good things must come to an end and fans are preparing themselves to say goodbye to the series as it comes to its last season. But is this really the end for the show and our favourite family of superheroes?

Here's what we know about why The Umbrella Academy isn't coming back for a season 5.

Is season 4 really the last season of The Umbrella Academy?

As much as we would love to see more seasons of the series, Netflix did confirm that the show would come to an end back in August 2022.

“I’m so excited that the incredibly loyal fans of The Umbrella Academy will be able to experience the fitting end to the Hargreeves siblings’ journey we began five years ago,” creator and showrunner Steve Blackman said, according to Deadline. “But before we get to that conclusion, we’ve got an amazing story ahead for season four, one that will have fans on the edge of their seats until the final minutes.”

What are the chances of getting a surprise season with The Umbrella Academy season 5?

Well, the first question we have to ask you is: did you watch the finale episode? Spoiler alert if you didn't but... The ending seems pretty final...

That being said, the comic book series is not complete yet with the final seasons still having been adapted. And considering the fact that the possibilities are literally endless in this world, well, I guess there's always a chance we go back.

There's always the chance that the comics go in a completely different direction, but we're going to have to wait and see for that... Either way, at least got to all go on one last subway ride together before we officially had to say goodbye.
