Fans rejoiced when Netflixs The Umbrella Academy was renewed for its fourth and final season. Based on the Dark Horse comics of the same name the hit show follows a dysfunctional powered family through some extremely weird events with the last season seeing the destruction of the world. Though the family has now survived multiple apocalypses the end is now in sight and the cast is getting emotional.
Emmy Raver Lampman has opened up about how this being the final season is affecting her. The actress originally known for her stage work in the musicals Jekyll and Hyde Wicked and Hamilton got her first small screen job playing Allison Hargreeves and believes she owes the show a huge debt for what it has done for her career. In an interview with Pop Culture she said I will forever be grateful for that show going on to add I would never stepped foot in front of a camera before Umbrella Academy. I do not think I would be sitting here having this conversation with you had I not been given that opportunity and been able to be a part of that show and have that experience. I am always going to carry a little bit of The Umbrella Academy with me forever so I will be sad to see it go but I think its good its time. For us its four seasons but for us it will have been almost seven years.
In the show Allisons abilities allow her to control minds to the point of altering reality by starting off with the phrase I heard a rumor. Her powers are extraordinarily dangerous as she can make someone do anything even kill themselves with the only restriction that subject needs to be within hearing range. But in the last season we saw her power evolve to the point where she no longer even needs to say the phrase.
With the siblings entering a new world after Allison sided with their father Sir Reginald Hargreeves they found that they had lost their abilities. It is not clear if this is true of Allison who did not appear with the rest of her family at the end and was instead back with her daughter and her love from the 60s Raymond Chestnut. As she got the life she desired it may be that she also kept her powers as well.
