The Umbrella Academy has enrolled three new cast members for its upcoming fourth season.
EW reports that Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally - who are married IRL and appeared together in Parks and Recreation - and David Cross (Arrested Development) have signed on for key supporting roles in what will be the final season of Netflix's Dark Horse Comics adaptation.
Offerman and Mullally will play Drs. Gene and Jean Thibedeau, "a married pair of community college professors from New Mexico who wear sensible footwear and suffer from the most extreme case of deja vu this timeline has ever seen."
Cross, meanwhile, will play Sy Grossman, "an upstanding, shy business owner and family man who will stop at nothing to reconnect with his estranged daughter and get her back."
"I'm so excited that the incredibly loyal fans of The Umbrella Academy will be able to experience the fitting end to the Hargreeves siblings' journey we began five years ago," creator Steve Blackman said in a statement. "But before we get to that conclusion, we've got an amazing story ahead for season 4, one that will have fans on the edge of their seats until the final minutes."
Season 3 concluded with the Hargreeves family preventing yet another apocalypse, but their efforts transported them to a timeline/reality where none of them had the use of their powers.
The Umbrella Academy season 4 is currently filming in Toronto. Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H. Min, Ritu Arya, and Colm Feore will all reprise their roles.
