It has been a long wait but finally, we can say that hit dramatic-comedy BARRY returns. It does so on SUNDAY, APRIL 24. If you are not up to speed with this show, make it a must-see. It ended its second season back in May of 2019 with a cliffhanger. Barry was pinned to a murder he didn’t commit! A recently dropped Teaser brings it all back to us and sets up Season Three.
Here is an official press release regarding the new season ahead:
The Emmy-winning dark comedy series BARRY, starring Emmy winner Bill Hader, returns for its eight-episode third season SUNDAY, APRIL 24 (10:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. Alec Berg (SILICON VALLEY) and Hader (Saturday Night Live) are co-creators, executive producers, directors and writers. 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.
The Emmy nominated and winning cast regulars include Stephen Root (most recently seen in PERRY MASON) as Monroe Fuches, Barry’s former handler currently in hiding; Sarah Goldberg (Hindsight) as Sally, Barry’s girlfriend in the midst of launching her first TV series; Anthony Carrigan (Gotham) as Noho Hank, head of the Chechen mob in LA; and Emmy winner Henry Winkler (Arrested Development) as Gene Cousineau, Barry’s former acting teacher who is in mourning over the loss of his girlfriend Detective Janice Moss. Returning for season three as a cast regular is Sarah Burns (ENLIGHTENED) as Detective Mae Dunn. Returning recurring cast includes D’Arcy Carden (The Good Place) as Natalie Greer and Michael Irby (TRUE DETECTIVE, Mayans M.C.) as Cristobal.
The series has clearly been a crowd-pleaser and a top half-hour program for HBO. It has over its first two seasons garnered six Emmy wins: Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Bill Hader); Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (Henry Winkler); Outstanding Sound Editing For a Comedy or Drama Series (Half-Hour) and Animation; and Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (Half-Hour) and Animation. It has over two dozen nominations to its credit.
Fuches has whispered to Cousineau that Barry murdered Janice. How can Barry doge that accusation? What complications is Noho Hank going to add to Barry’s life? Are his chances of being an acknowledged actor dashed and is his contract killer career truly behind him? Only BARRY will tell us so, remember the date – April 24 on HBO.
