A new timeline jump also means we get to see new faces again as 'The Umbrella Academy' comes back for Season 4

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: When Netflix’s 'The Umbrella Academy' returns for its fourth and final season, it won’t just have a new timeline, it’ll also bring some new blood to the cast. Nick Offerman seems to be trending this year, first, he was seen as a queer character in 'The Last of Us,' and now he is about to star in a popular Netflix show. Speaking of which, two months after 'The Umbrella Academy' dropped its third season, the streaming giant renewed the comic book-based superhero television series for the fourth and final season. Apparently, the series has also started filming the final season this month. 

The cast features Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castaneda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Cameron Britton, Mary J. Blige, John Magaro, Adam Godley, Colm Feore, Justin H. Min, Ritu Arya, Yusuf Gatewood, Marin Ireland, Kate Walsh, Genesis Rodriguez, and Britne Oldford. Until now, all three seasons received positive reviews from critics, and the series has received a number of accolades, including six Emmy nominations.
