Netflix ‘s The Umbrella Academy is back with its fourth and final season going to release on 2024.

Accompanying it, a new official prequel companion novel, ‘The Umbrella Academy: Young Blood,’ is set to release in June 2024. It is written by New York Times bestselling author Alyssa Sheinmel.

This new young adult novel delves into the formative years of The Umbrella Academy heroes, offering a more profound exploration of their early lives. The focus, particularly on the period following Five’s disappearance, promises to provide fans with a deeper insight into the characters’ backgrounds and experiences. It serves as an exciting extension of the series, enriching its lore.

The official synopsis for the book set for release in June by Abrams books is given below.

The Umbrella Academy has always been extraordinary—ready to leap to superpowered action at a moment’s notice. But now that Five has disappeared and their fame has crested, sometimes the only thing Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Ben, and Viktor want is to be normal. . . which is much easier said than done, when you’re raised by someone like Hargreeves.

For their exacting and tyrannical father figure, nothing is ever enough; which is why, during a dinnertime debriefing on their latest mission, Ben snaps, prompting Klaus to suggest that they all need a change of scenery—just one night of partying like a bunch of average teens. In fact, Klaus knows just the place; there’s a frat house in a neighboring college town that throws weekend blowouts. What could go wrong?

They soon realize sneaking out of Hargreeves’s house—er, fortress—is the least of their concerns. When the six teens pledge not to use their powers under any circumstances, they fail to factor in the sheer force of teen drama. Faced with weird earthquakes, weirder partygoers, and a possible new foe, the Umbrella Academy must choose between the night they always dreamed of and an unexpected mission that may save the world and—finally—secure Hargreeves’s approval.
