Much like the fate of the universe where it takes place, The Umbrella Academy‘s future is up in the air.

But if the series does return for Season 4, those episodes could potentially serve as The Umbrella Academy‘s last, based on series creator Steve Blackman’s initial plan for the show.

He adds that Gerard Way, who authors the comics on which The Umbrella Academy is based, “wants to do stuff for another decade, and he’s going to do volumes and volumes.” But even if the source material continues for years, “I have what I think is an end to the TV show,” Blackman says.

The Umbrella Academy‘s third season ended — spoiler alert.

Sir Reginald attempted to reprogram the universe entirely before it was destroyed, but his process was interrupted by Allison; thus, the remaining Umbrella Academy and Sparrow Academy siblings were transported to a seemingly half-formed world where they no longer possess their powers?
