The Umbrella Academy dropped a new trailer for its fourth and final season, and it’s fittingly scored by My Chemical Romance’s “The End” (MCR’s singer Gerard Way co-wrote the comic books). Along with seeing the Hargreeves siblings back and ready to stop the end of the world, we also meet Nick Offerman’s character, Dr. Gene Thibedeau.

Of course, fans of The Umbrella Academy know the “tentacle boy” in question is Ben Hargreeves (Justin H. Min), who seems to be back after dying in a previous season. Meanwhile, the Hargreeves siblings are all separated after the events of the battle at Hotel Oblivion last season, and they’ve also lost their powers. Meanwhile, their father, Reginald, is now head of a seemingly evil business empire, while a shadowy organization known as The Keepers echo Thibedeau’s sentiments that the world is a “phony bologna lie.”
