Bill Hader's BARRY Season 3 Will Premiere on HBO in April 2022!
Finally! The third season of HBO’s Barry has a premiere date! I’m a huge fan of Bill Hader’s hitman dark comedy! I love this show, and it seems like fans have been waiting forever for this third season! It’s been three years since Season 2 was released! Well, Season 3 is set to air on Sunday, April 24th, 2022, and I couldn’t be more excited!
Here’s the official description for the return of the series: “Desperate to leave his violent past behind in favor of his newfound passion, Barry (Hader) is attempting to untangle himself from the world of contract killing and fully immerse himself in acting. But getting out is messy. While Barry has eliminated many of the external factors that pushed him towards violence, he soon discovers they weren’t the only forces at play. What is it about his own psyche that led him to become a killer in the first place? Season three finds Barry and the other characters trying to make the right choice.”
Barry Season 3 will consist of eight episodes and it will also stream on HBO Max. Hader recently told critics at the Television Critics Association’s virtual press tour, “Season three, more than anything, shows the ramifications of [Barry’s violence]. Even more bad things happen. Mostly bad.”
Co-creator Alec Berg added, “What’s interesting all of the wreckage of seasons one and two that Barry had to do to keep the plates spinning … all goes back to his decision to become an actor. I really enjoy the fact that everything that happens in the show is a consequence of Barry wanting a better life and every bit of that better life he’s trying to achieve has led to all this chaos.”
Hader also revealed that the creative team used production downtime during the Covid pandemic to extensively rewrite season three and also pen a fourth season.
The series will also see the return of Stephen Root, Sarah Goldberg, Anthony Carrigan, Henry Winkler, and Sarah Burns.
If you haven’t watched Barry yet, you seriously need to watch it! It’s so great!
