Showrunner/EP Steve Blackman took to Instagram to make it official. Filming on the fourth & final season of The Umbrella Academy is underway.

"But before we get to that conclusion, we've got an amazing story ahead for season four, one that will have fans on the edge of their seats until the final minutes."
