Watch New Teaser for 3rd Season of Barry

Silicon Valley may be done, but series director Alec Berg has a completely different show called Barry starring Bill Hader. The last season came out back in 2019, and now that productions have been able to resume again, we have a teaser for the third season of Barry.

Watch this:

Here’s the synopsis for the third season (via Collider):

“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.”

While we are only gearing up for the third season, Hader has revealed that work has also started on Season 4. In fact, because the pandemic had allowed for time to develop the fourth season, they were able to go back and layout things that could happen in Barry 4 in the currently upcoming season. Hader explained:

“We mapped out Season 4 and then went back and started laying stuff in Season 3 that could be in Season 4 and it was really helpful. It was kind of like a great way of, I mean Season 3, we end up kind of fully overhauling a lot of elements of it because we had written four. So it was good.”

Hader has certainly evolved as an actor since his Saturday Night Live days, and Barry has been an avenue for him to try out his more dramatic acting. I mean, the premise of the entire show is still quite comedic, but the drama that Hader portrays onscreen is definitely no joke.

Barry returns to HBO Max on April 24.
