'The Umbrella Academy' finale: A guide to everyone in that last scene (2024)

The Umbrella Academy is over, friends. And in the very last moments of Season 4, we got to briefly reunite with some of the series' characters beyond the core Hargreeves.

In the final scene of the series forever, we find ourselves in a utopian park, listening to the sounds of Tommy James and the Shondells' original 1967 version of "I Think We're Alone Now" — a perfect final song for The Umbrella Academy. We see a family blowing bubbles, a group of blonde men playing frisbee, and two people playing backgammon while being sketched. It's all very lovely and meant to show the results of the Hargreeves' final act.

"We wanted to make the final moment really special and say that in this final timeline, things have all come back to normal. All the other timelines don’t exist and it’s just a normal life," series creator Steve Blackman told Netflix's Tudum blog. "So we brought back in as many of the returning cast as we could."

But who was that guy? And why do I remember that face? We're here to help identify every familiar face in the final scene, and there's some spoilers in here so beware.

The family on the lawn

Blowing bubbles and having tea parties on the lawn, Lila (Ritu Arya) and Diego's (David Castañeda) family have made it, including Lila's parents (Geet Arora and Shiva Safari), Uncle Inny (Sylvan Valladares), Aunt Banu (Gurbir Bal), Cousin Ronnie (Devanshu Narang), and their daughter Grace (Ciara Rose Feeney). They're joined by Allison's daughter Claire (Millie Davis). They were all put on a time-travelling subway train by Lila to ensure their safety before the Hargreeves made their final sacrifice — so, it worked.

The three guys playing frisbee

Remember the Swedes? The assassins from Season 2? They're not dead, nor will they be as they don't foolishly try to kill the Hargreeves siblings in the future! Triplets Otto (Jason Bryden), Axel (Kris Holden-Ried), and Oscar (Tom Sinclair) were assigned to kill the Umbrella Academy members by the Handler of the Temps Commission, and they all died instead.

The two people walking their bikes

That's Griddy's Doughnuts owner Agnes Rofa (Sheila McCarthy) and time-travelling assassin Hazel (Cameron Britton) who fell in love in Season 1.

The lady pushing the pram

No longer a Kugelblitz worshipping android, the Hargreeves' robot mother Grace (Jordan Claire Robbins) pushes a pram holding a baby presumably without powers.

The jogger

Stopping to stretch, that jogger is The Handler (Kate Walsh), Lila's adoptive mother and a big cheese at the Temps Commission in Season 2. She's the main villain in that season, so it's nice to see her more centred.

The sketcher

That's none other that The Umbrella Academy's comic book co-creator, illustrator by Gabriel Bá. "I hope people scream a little if they catch me there because it was fun for me," Bá told Tudum.

The backgammon players

Being sketched by Bá is Herb (Ken Hall) and Dot (Patrice Goodman) from the Temps Commission. Hall also did the motion capture for chimpanzee caretaker Pogo in earlier seasons.

Can you see more characters in the scene? Blackman told Tudum that Five's beloved mannequin, Dolores, from Season 1 is somewhere in there, but I can't see her. Maybe you'll have more luck.

The Umbrella Academy Season 4 is now streaming on Netflix.
