HBO Gives “Barry” a Third Season

Bill Hader in "Barry"

Barry ain’t going anywhere.

The cast and producers of the HBO comedy are rejoicing as the network has renewed the series for a third season.

The show, which has been praised by critics and scooped up three Emmy Awards in its first year, premiered its second season at the end of March.

Bill Hader was one of the Emmy recipients for his role as the titular Barry, who is a depressed, low-rent hitman from the Midwest. While on a job in Los Angeles, he gets involved in acting. Season two will see him attempt to leave contract killing and take on acting full time, while facing some tough questions about choices in his life.

The cast of Hader, Stephen Root, Sarah Goldberg, Anthony Carrigan, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, D’Arcy Carden, and Henry Winkler are all expected to return for Barry’s third season.
