The Umbrella Academy season 4 cast reveals have us worried - here's why
, I said it was the weakest installment of Netflix's adaptation so far. Seasons 1 and 2 largely stuck to the narratives and character arcs seen in the comics. The show's third season didn't have the luxury of adapting any elements from the books, resulting in original content being created by the writing team – most of which felt like a step-by-step retread of what we've seen before .
Then there's the concern over the Thibedeaus. As professors – ones who are suffering from the most extreme case of deja vu, according to Netflix's press release – it seems they've encountered the Hargreeves family before. If that's the case, and if the Thibedeaus are physicists who specialize in theories surrounding time travel, season 4's main narrative could be based around the idea of a multiverse and/or branching timelines.
's TV adaptation to fail. I'd love nothing more than for it to live up to its potential, give us a fantastic final season, and allow the Hargreeves family to walk off into the sunset after rectifying the time travel errors they've made along the way. If a trailer and official plot synopsis – once they're released – suggest that's going to be the case, I'll be more confident in Blackman and company delivering a fitting end to the TV series.
I love the graphic novel series, so I feel more invested in the show and its success than more casual fans. I want to see these characters get a break, and actually save the world properly for once. I want them to make peace with each other after the familial trauma they've suffered; and I want a emotionally satisfying conclusion to their overarching journey.
Right now, though part of me feels like I'll be left disappointed. I hope I'm wrong but, based on the latest character reveals and potential retread of stale storylines, I'm worried that– and that would be a huge pity.
