Get Your First Look at the Final Season of Barry and the Conclusion of Hitman Comedy

March 7, 2023

Over 3 seasons, Bill Hader and Alec Berg have dazzled us all with the bleakly dark, but still very hysterical Barry, following a troubled hitman desperately trying to being an actor (and a better person) and nothing but chaos trailing him at every turn. For our money, it’s one of the best dark comedies that there ever has been and has elevated the game in terms of how comedy can be directed for TV (or even for movies-the show is one of the most cinematic comedies).

Without giving too much away, the seemingly impossible redemption path for Barry, at the outset of season 4, seems even more impossible now, at least on Barry’s terms. This first teaser for season 4 is already so enticing and yet leaves so many possibilities open to what end Barry might ultimately come to (a happy ending? probably not in the capital-H sense).

Get a taste of this fourth and final season of Barry here, then make sure you have access to HBO on Apr. 16th when it premieres.

If you weren’t fortunate enough to have a good enough income in the “before times” to subscribe to HBO or have a friend or loved one that was nice enough to share their password, HBO is providing relief to those going stir crazy while observing sheltering at home and social distancing.

Via HBO Now and HBO Go, you’ll indeed be able to binge watch all the episodes of some of their best shows in recent memory Veep, Silicon Valley, Barry, and Succession (amongst a bunch of other perennial award winning drama series and HBO docs and even movie titles) without any sort of HBO subscription of any kind.

Best of all, this pay-wall-less access to hundreds hours of previously exclusive content starts tomorrow, April 3rd.

Barry Getting A Third Season at HBO

If the darker path that has been suggested that Barry takes in this second season proves true, we can thankfully ponder at whatever very gut-wrenching cliffhanger that this hitman-turned-aspiring-actor dramedy will leave us with this time and how the hell Barry will get out of it.

Well, he’ll kind of get out of it, but then also get in deeper (probably killing more people he didn’t want to kill, right?). We’ll just have to wait very patiently to see how it all plays out (and that wasn’t really a spoiler as so many people getting killed off in Barry).

Without spoiling anything, the critically acclaimed first season of Barry left on a pretty big cliffhanger. The teaser for season 2 manages you to leave you hooked with more questions than that cliffhanger (like a good teaser/trailer should).

So, without saying anything further, see for yourself in the teaser for what’s probably your current favorite hitman dramedy here. Look for season 2 to premiere sometime this Spring on HBO.

We didn’t really think about it too much until now, but this show will really let Bill Hader play a bunch of different personalities all in one very conflicted character.

HBO’s latest comedy offering will be coming in spring 2018 and indeed feature Bill Hader as a world class assassin who delves into acting.

Here’s a teaser.

So, we’re getting hints of Grosse Point Blank, except it revolves around an acting class as opposed to a high school reunion. We hope that Hader uses the platform to get as off beat as he can.

This will be the first time that Hader stars, executive produces, writes, and directs.

Bill Hader will star in HBO’s latest comedy series that comes from both Alec Berg (who’s worked on many of your favorite comedies between Seinfeld to Silicon Valley).

Called Barry, Hader will be a hitman who has grown weary of the hitman life and finds his way into theater and becoming an actor.

Comedy where a hitman is trying to transition into a new life sounds like rich territory for Bill and the supporting cast of Stephen Root and Henry Winkler should be icing on the cake here.

HBO Orders Pilot of Bill Hader Hitman Comedy “Barry”

Bill Hader as a lonely hitman finding himself amongst theater folk in LA might just be good enough for a greenlight as far as we’re concerned.

While Veep and Girls are getting into their latter seasons, HBO is readying itself for its next few comedy series in the years to come. The Duplass Brothers’ Animals is set to premiere at the end of the month and adding a pilot of Hader starring in a hitman comedy sounds like a pretty great addition to their development slate.

The project, Barry, was co-written by Hader and Alec Berg, who we hope you know from Silicon Valley and Curb Your Enthusiasm, and we sincerely hope that it makes it air just to see what the two have cooking.
