Netflix dropped the teaser trailer for the fourth season of the much-popular series The Umbrella Academy. The series will premiere on the streamer on August 8.
The teaser trailer starts with dialogue from Reginald Hagreeves playing in the background while showing the siblings of the Umbrella Academy. As the voice-over ends, the scene cuts to Luther taking a picture of the rest of the members, including Laila. Accompanied by the tune of The Final Countdown, the teaser hints that the story is taking place in a new timeline.
The series show runner is Steve Blackman. The fourth season began filming in February this year.
The Umbrella Academy is based on a comic book series by the same name, written by Gerard Way and illustrated by Gabriel Ba. The Umbrella Academy, which premiered in 2019, starts with 43 unconnected women showing no signs of pregnancy and still giving birth on the same day. Billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves adopts seven of those children in hopes of turning the children into superheroes. With rather disastrous results, they end up becoming destructive for the world.
The series' ensemble cast includes Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver, Robert Sheehan, Justin H Min, Colm Feore, and Ritu Arya. Both Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá are executive producers of the series.
