Showrunner Steve Blackman tellsEntertainment Weekly.
What does that do to you?
Not only as an individual, but what is the family dynamic when suddenly they find themselves normal?

I think it’s a challenge for all of them.
With those superpowers stripped away, who are they as a family?
Victor is probably the one sibling who is most comfortable in his skin in season 4, Blackman says.
Hes doing better than any of the other siblings in terms of adjusting to his new life.
He’s the most accepting of their new reality.
This just exemplifies the chaos of having them back together as a family, Blackman says.
This sums up the madness and chaos of the season in one shot.
All may not be as it seems, though.
So we’re definitely in an altered version of our now.
We’re back to the time period theyve always wanted to get back to!
At least they start in the right year, but we know that something isn’t right.
Season 4 ofThe Umbrella Academypremieres Thursday, Aug. 8, on Netflix.
