5 ‘The Umbrella Academy’ Characters We Expect to See in Season 4
Contains spoilers for ‘The Umbrella Academy’ Seasons 1-3
Los Angeles, California: It’s a bittersweet moment for fans as the popular Netflix show ‘The Umbrella Academy’ returns for the last time. Season 4, set to premiere on August 8, 2024, will bring an explosive conclusion to the adventures of the dysfunctional Hargreaves family.
Season 4 will mark the return of most of the main characters from Season 3. It features Victor (Elliot Page), Luther (Tom Hopper), Diego (David Castaneda), Alison (Amy Revere-Lampman), Klaus (Robert Sheehan), Five Others (Aidan Gallagher), Ben (Justin H. Minn).
However, several supporting characters from all three seasons made a significant impact on the storyline with their presence, and we hope they return in Season 4 and have a satisfying conclusion. Let’s take a look:
1. Grace Hargreaves (played by Jordan Claire Robbins)

Remember Grace? Robotic nanny and mother figure to the Hargreaves siblings? Grace had a special bond with each of the Hargreaves children.
When the house collapsed, it seemed that Grace was doomed. But nothing is ever certain in the world of ‘The Umbrella Academy’. We hope elements of his past or even a version of him return in season 4.
There is much more to explore as to why Reginald designed Grace to look like her 1960s partner. Grace’s mysterious actions in Season 3, such as poisoning Reginald, left fans with more questions. Maybe season 4 will give us some answers.
2. Axel (played by Chris Holden-Ride)

Axel is one of ‘The Swedes’ and has caused quite a stir. By the end of season 2, Axel is the only survivor from his group, partly due to Alison’s manipulation.
Her last scene saw her joining Klaus’ cult, Destiny’s Children. Axel wasn’t around for Season 3, but his story may not be over. With time travel in the game, there is always a chance that Axel and his brothers can return.
‘The Umbrella Academy’ Season 4 may reveal what Axel is up to and whether his brothers have a shot at coming back.
3. Jill (played by Mouna Traore)

Jill is a member of Destiny’s Children and caught the eye of Ben in Season 2. She’s smart and bubbly and made the unusual choice to give up an Albright scholarship to join Klaus’ cult.
Jill was not seen in season 3, but with Axel joining the cult, there is hope that she will return. Fans want to see if Jill’s relationship with Klaus was actually with Ben and how that affects her loyalty to Klaus and religion.
4. Dot (played by Patrice Goodman)

Dot works on commissions and helps the Academy go back to their own time. Although she looks sweet, there may be more to her story.
Dot’s loyalty to Five may be tested in Season 4, especially since she’s in charge of the Apocalypse Files. Fans are curious if his loyalties will shift and what secrets he might be hiding.
5. Herb (played by Ken Hall)

Herb, the underrated character of ‘The Umbrella Academy’, provided many of the funniest moments in the series. He seemingly met his end when Kugelblitz struck, but later appeared in a flashback to help Lila.
Herb’s knowledge of Lila’s parents is crucial, and fans hope Season 4 will reveal if he shares this information with her. As the new leader of the Commission, Herb’s role in Season 4 could be important.
