Summary
As the release date ofThe Umbrella Academyseason 4 fast approaches, more promotional material is released, and a new batch of character posters support a Diego (David Castañeda) and Lila (Ritu Arya) theory, but that’s a problem. After its massive cliffhanger ending in season 3,The Umbrella Academyis ending with its fourth season, and there’s a lot to answer and cover in the upcoming final episodes.The Umbrella Academyseason 3 endedwith Reginald’s designed timeline becoming a reality, but as he was killed before finishing it, this new timeline might have a couple of flaws and glitches.
Allison killed Reginald before he could finish his timeline and pulled the lever, resulting in a timeline where Reginald and his wife are alive, Allison got her daughter and her 1960s husband, Sloane disappeared, and the Hargreeves and Lila no longer have powers. In addition to that, each of the Hargreeves has a couple of personal issues to address and solve inThe Umbrella Academyseason 4, including Lila and Diego, the only couple who survived season 3’s apocalypse and who seem to be about to take a huge step in their relationship… but that will complicate their next mission.
I Think I Know Reginald’s Real Motivations In The Umbrella Academy (& The Hargreeves Are In Trouble)
The Umbrella Academy season 4 will reveal Reginald Hargreeves' motivations, and I think I know what they are based on one scene from season 1.
The Umbrella Academy’s Lila Poster Teases She & Diego Became Parents, After All
Lila’s Character Poster Brought Some Interesting Reveals
At the end ofThe Umbrella Academyseason 3, Lila and Diego reconciled and she revealed she was pregnant, and this time it was for real.
Lila was introduced inThe Umbrella Academyseason 2, where she was revealed to be one of the 43 children born on Jun 30, 2025, at the same time to women who weren’t pregnant when the day started. Lila was adopted by The Handler after killing her parents, and she helped her develop her powers, which consist of mirroring those of others. Lila got into a complex and not exactly healthy relationship with Diego, and in season 3, she returned with Stan, a 12-year-old boy she told Diego was their son, but she was just messing with him.
At the end ofThe Umbrella Academyseason 3, Lila and Diego reconciled and she revealed she was pregnant, and this time it was for real. However,the loss of their powers in the timeline reset made many viewers question if Lila was still pregnant or not, and thefirst teaser trailer forThe Umbrella Academyseason 4showed Diego helping a young girl at a kids' party, but Lila wasn’t around. This has made viewers believe this might be Diego’s daughter but not Lila’s, butLila’s season 4 character poster seems to be pointing in the opposite direction.
Lila is shown sitting on a bench at a subway station next to an open package with baby bottles, implying thatthe timeline reset didn’t affect her pregnancyand that she and Diego became parents between seasons 3 and 4 (whether that girl in the trailer is their daughter or not is to be seen), though it’s unclear if they stayed together.
Why Having A Child Will Complicate Lila & Diego’s Mission In The Umbrella Academy Season 4
It’s Not The Best Time For Diego & Lila To Become Parents
Diego and Lila will have another life to protect and might be forced to make a difficult and potentially heartbreaking decision if they are given a chance to return to their timeline.
Lila and Diego having a child wouldn’t be a problem if they were in their right timeline.It has been implied by showrunner Steve Blackman thatReginald’s timeline inThe Umbrella Academyseason 4 is unfinished and there will be strange things happening as a result of this. On top of that, a new apocalypse has been teased, and the Hargreeves might find a way to return to their rightful place in the multiverse, but all this will be a lot more complicated for Diego and Lila if they’re parents.
Diego and Lila will have another life to protect and might be forced to make a difficult and potentially heartbreaking decision if they are given a chance to return to their timeline. When it comes to the apocalypse,Diego and Lila could end up mirroring Allison’s situation in season 1, in which she was unable to save her daughter from the first apocalypse. It’s to be seen howThe Umbrella Academywill handle Lila and Diego being parents or if Lila is once again pretending and her pregnancy disappeared along with her powers.
The Umbrella Academy
The Umbrella Academy is based on the comic book of the same name created by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá. The Hargreeves — collectively known as The Umbrella Academy — were born with superpowers, and their adoptive father utilized their abilities. However, as they grew older, the siblings grew apart as they dealt with their trauma. They are brought back together after their father dies and Five returns from the future with grave news: The world will end, and The Umbrella Academy has to stop it before it happens.
