Otherwise, the trailer for The Umbrella Academy Season 4 seems most concerned with capturing the fun, comedic tone of the show. The sibling dynamic between the characters is on full display, as they complain about a group photo being taken by a cheerfully clueless Luther. The trailer also prominently features “The Final Countdown” by Europe which is emblematic of the show’s fantastic soundtrack and notable needle-drop moments.
