AceShowbiz - "The Umbrella Academy" has brought in more cast members for its fourth and final season. A new report revealed that Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally and David Cross have been tapped to star on the Netflix series.
Nick ("The Last of Us") and Megan ("Party Down"), who are married in real life, are set to star as Drs. Gene and Jean Thibedeau. The characters are described as "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."
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Megan shared, "I mean, the deal's not quite closed but let's just pretend it is." She also revealed they start filming "in a couple of weeks."
Meanwhile, "Arrested Development" star David will portray Sy Grossman. He is "an upstanding, shy business owner and family man desperate to reconnect with his estranged daughter, who will stop at nothing to get her back."
The three actors will join returning cast members who include Elliot Page (previously known as Ellen Page), Tom Hopper, David Castaneda and Emmy Raver-Lampman. Also starring in the upcoming season are Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H. Min, Ritu Arya and Com Feore.
While Netflix has yet to confirm an episode count for season 4, sources claim that the final season will have less than 10 episodes. Production on the final season is currently underway in Toronto.
The streaming giant announced back in August that season 4 of "The Umbrella Academy" would be its last. "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," series 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."
