&#8216;The Umbrella Academy&#8217; Season 4 Can Be a Perfect Ending To the Show, Here&#8217;s why

As one of Netflix’s flagship shows, The Umbrella Academy had a great run for 3
seasons. The chronicles of the Hargeeves super siblings received an abundance of
love and appreciation from fans, especially during their last season. However,
the show isn’t perfect and has its fair share of ups and downs. With The
Umbrella Academy season 4 officially on the cards, the creators have an
opportunity to sign off with their heads held high.



Inspired by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá’s comic book series, the superpowered
adoptive siblings face one disaster after another throughout the show. Perhaps
with a clear end in sight, they can avoid one apocalypse: a disappointing
finale.

WHY SHOULD THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY END WITH SEASON 4?

The Umbrella Academy [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-umbrella-academy/] has
found itself in Game of Thrones territory. Hotel Oblivion, the source material
for the show, is still unfinished. Yet, the TV show has not only caught up but
also overshot it by introducing the Sparrow Academy storyline. The audience,
still recovering from the disappointing GOT finale, will certainly not be
forgiving of another unsatisfying ending.

Moreover, Netflix has announced shorter episode lengths for season 4. This
decision can go either way. The Umbrella Academy season 3 separated the
characters into factions for most of its run. While this was great for
individual character arcs like Allison’s
[https://netflixjunkie.com/?s=the+umbrella+academy] or Victor’s, it opened up
several plot points that now need closure.

Given that the episodes are shorter, exploring individual narratives will either
leave some major questions unanswered or wrap up in a rush. If the show sticks
to its season 3 storytelling style, it is possible we will be left handing in
mid-air craving for a pay-off.



Having said that, if the creators opt for a tight narrative structure instead,
it might work in their favor. Unlike the previous season, the ultimate one needs
more joint storylines. The show needs to delve into the character dynamics after
the latest apocalypse. Have the equations changed? Have they evolved or
regressed? What the show might need is a wholesome culmination and some sort of
resolution.

we can do is speculate and wish for a satisfying ending. What are your thoughts
