The American sci-fi drama, which is based on the comic book series of the same name, has just released its third run on the streaming site. But boss Steve Blackman has hinted that if another series goes ahead, it could be its last based on what he has planned.<\/p>\n
Viewers have seen The Umbrella Academy leave us with a pretty big cliffhanger <\/a>in its third season. But although Blackman has acknowledged that the show hasn\u2019t yet been recommissioned by Netflix, he did shed some light on where the story could go next. \u2013 and that includes a major turning point that could lead to the end.<\/p>\n \u201cI think inevitably if we got a Season 4, it\u2019s going towards an endgame,\u201d Blackman revealed to TheWrap. <\/a>\u201cI think at a certain point, I\u2019m not sure where we\u2019d go after Season 4. We have to be careful. My plan for next year is not to continually tread on the same ground we have before.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a challenge to come up with a new way to subvert this storyline, and I think we have an idea how to do that. But I think if we got to Season 4, it would be a great ending for the run of the show. I\u2019m not saying I couldn\u2019t do more, but you know, I think that would be very satisfying for the audience, four seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n Blackman added that he has had a four-season arc mapped out for some time, and hadn\u2019t yet thought beyond that. \u201cI know Season 4. I always pitch it to Netflix ahead of time before I sit down with the writers, so Netflix knows what I\u2019m proposing for Season 4.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI know the beginning middle and end, I know where we\u2019re going to. Since I started \u2018Umbrella,\u2019 I only knew in my head what I thought the first four seasons are. I have no idea where I\u2019m gonna go after Season 4 if we\u2019re so lucky to have more of that.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I have four seasons of story in my head. I know where I want to go. I know where I want to end, and if we\u2019re lucky enough, I hope the fans will get to see it. I don\u2019t know if we\u2019ll be at the end of the run or not. But either way, I have a plan.\u201d<\/p> The showrunner also hinted at what he hopes to explore going forward, which includes how the characters would cope without their unique abilities.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to pose to the viewer and the fan, \u2018Would they be happier without their powers?\u2019 I mean, all they do is complain about being who they are,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n \u201cSo will Viktor, will Diego be happy without it or will they feel like they\u2019re missing an appendage? Will the world not be right for them anymore without powers? Can they be \u2018normal\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n In a reference to that cliffhanger at the end of season 3, Blackman concluded: \u201chow it is reset and the ways it will be reset is a place we\u2019re going to be going to hopefully in Season 4.\u201d<\/p>\n So, whether The Umbrella Academy really does reach its climax, let\u2019s hope season 4 is on the cards!<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n The Umbrella Academy season 3 is streaming now on\u00a0Netflix<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>Check out more of our\u00a0Sci-Fi<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
