On the choice to spherical off the collection with its fourth season, Ritu Arya who performs Lila defined to Individuals, “ I think there was more to explore, especially for me, with the Lila/Five stuff in the subway, all these different worlds. I would’ve loved to have got to explore that so much more. I think it’s such a cool concept, but it goes so quickly, and it’s exactly what it’s supposed to be.”
In the identical interview, fellow forged member Justin H. Min who performs Ben added, “So many things happened, obviously, the main one being the pandemic and the strike and it delaying things. We almost spent a year gap between each of the seasons. Someone like Aidan, he’s literally grown right before our eyes. We knew at a certain point it was going to become unsustainable for us to draw this process out. I think ending it at four was the right decision and closing up all those storylines and questions that fans have had over the years.”

Will there be a spin-off of The Umbrella Academy?
It may be wishful pondering, although even with the finality of The Umbrella Academy season 4 ending, there’s nonetheless loads of questions that should be answered, which means loads of materials for potential spin-offs.
On the scope for a spin-off collection, showrunner Blackman instructed The Hollywood Reporter “It is really up to Netflix at the end of the day—and we’ve talked about it and it’s a lot of variables in play,”
He added, “I think there’s a great story in young Hazel [Cameron Britton] and Cha-Cha [Blige] down the road. There’s obviously the Commission. I think there’s wonderful stories also with some other secondary characters. Then what’s wonderful about our world is we could crossover with our main characters anytime we want to because in a wonderful time-travelling world, you can end up with anyone anytime you want.”
Whereas we do not need to get our hopes up, it definitely appears like Blackman is recreation for The Umbrella Academy spin-off, with him explaining “There are ideas, there’s things I’ve talked about, and if Netflix decides down the road, I’d love to do it. But ultimately Netflix will make that decision. I hope this isn’t the end of Umbrella Academy. I hope there’s another iteration somewhere down the road.”
We hope so, too!
