As we’ve come to expect in The Umbrella Academy, the world is coming to an end. The series can’t go out without that storyline once more, but the trailer makes it clear that there is a twist. It’s not Viktor that causes it, this time.
This time, it’s Ben. It looks like having Ben back alive is causing problems for the current timeline. At least it looks like Sir Reginald Hargreeves is willing to work with his children this time!
I have a lot of questions, though. How do they all have powers back? The end of the third season saw them realize that they no longer had their abilities, but it looks like they’re all back.
The Umbrella Academy Season 4 trailer tells us the problem
The trailer gives us a look at the problem. The world is going to end in 48 hours. Actually, it’s going to ed in 24 hours, and it’s got something to do with Ben and his octopus abilities.
We see Ben is suffering in some sort of way. It’s not clear what’s going on, but it looks like his powers could be getting out of control. Is this something to do with him now being alive? The rest of the siblings do have to remember how Ben died in the first place.
We’ve never been told how Ben died in the original timeline. All we know is that it happened after Five disappeared and was presumed dead. Klaus has always been able to see him, and eventually, Klaus accepted his abilities and allowed Ben to possess him for some time to use his own abilities to help save the world from ending.
Now it’s time to find out what happened to Ben. Allison and Diego share that he died because they all failed to work as a team. Then Luther adds to that, but he suddenly stops. It’s like time is being changed and they are forgetting the original timelines. Do they need to remember what happened to help prevent the world from coming to an end.
Take a look at the trailer for The Umbrella Academy Season 4, and get ready for one last mission.
