Barry Season 4 to End HBO Series, Bill Hader Issues Statement
Bill Hader's black comedy series Barry is coming to an end. HBO has confirmed that season four will be its last. “It’s been an amazing journey making this show, and it’s bittersweet that the story has come to its natural conclusion,” said Hader in a brief statement. Many of the actors, including Anthony Corrigan and Henry Winkler, have been alluding to the fact that season four is the last in recent interviews.
“After three masterful seasons of Barry, we are eager for viewers to see the powerful, complex and hilarious conclusion to Barry Berkman’s story,” said Amy Gravitt, HBO/HBO Max Executive VP Comedy. “It has been a pleasure working with this immensely talented team including Bill Hader, Alec Berg, Aida Rodgers and the entire exceptional cast and crew.”
Barry premiered on HBO in 2018. The series followed a low-level hitman named Barry, played by Bill Hader, who has become disillusioned with his career. On an assignment, Barry moves to Los Angeles, but soon finds himself enmeshed in the world of acting. However, his dreams of stardom are marred by his dark past, which creeps into every corner of his increasingly complicated life. The series also stars Stephen Root (HBO’s All the Way), Sarah Goldberg (Hindsight), Glenn Fleshler (HBO’s True Detective), Anthony Carrigan (Gotham), and Henry Winkler (Arrested Development).
Barry is created, directed, and written by Alec Berg (HBO’s Silicon Valley) and Bill Hader. Executive producers are Berg, Hader, Aida Rodgers, and Liz Sarnoff with Julie Camino producing. The series has been critically-acclaimed, earning Emmy nominations for its directing and writing, and wins for Hader and Winkler. Hader has directed a number of episodes of the series and will direct all episodes of the upcoming season. Season four is premiering April 16 and will be eight episodes, with the series finale slated for May 28.
