Elliot Page promises “chaos” in The Umbrella Academy season 4

The cast are keeping tight-lipped on what's to come, but Page, who plays Viktor Hargreeves, offered a tidbit to RadioTimes.com while promoting his new film Close To You, saying: "I’m not really allowed to say anything but it’s gonna be, as per usual, very fun, classic Hargreeves chaos and hijinks."

We'll take a bit of Hargreeves chaos and hijinks any day.

It was recently revealed that season 4 of The Umbrella Academy will be released on 8th August – so we don't have too long to wait, with the very first footage being revealed in a sizzle reel from Netflix.

The footage appears to confirm the return of Alison (Emmy Raver-Lampman), with the character's fate left uncertain at the end of season 3.

All of the siblings seen together once again as they down a shot, declaring: "One last shot, for old time's sake."

While details about the plot are still thin on the ground, showrunner Steve Blackman previously teased what's to come before season 4 was confirmed.

He told The Wrap: "My plan for next year is not to continually tread on the same ground we have before.

"It’s 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."

As for how that major cliffhanger from season 3 will be resolved, only time will tell.

The Umbrella Academy season 4 will arrive on Netflix on Thursday 8th August. Seasons 1-3 are available to watch now. Check out more of our Sci-Fi coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to see what's on tonight.
