Barry season 3 trailer: Bill Hader’s hitman with a heart of gold is back

Last Updated on April 5, 2022

It’s been nearly three years since the last season of Barry, HBO’s dark comedy starring Bill Hader as a hitman with a heart of gold who attempts to leave his old life behind in order to pursue acting, but the series is finally set to return! HBO has released a new teaser trailer for Barry season 3 which finds Barry attempting to earn forgiveness.

“Desperate to leave his violent past behind in favor of his newfound passion, Barry is attempting to untangle himself from the world of contract killing and fully immerse himself in acting,” reads the official description. “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 third season of Barry will pick up from the cliffhanger of the last season, which found Gene (Henry Winkler) discovering that Barry was responsible for the death of his girlfriend Janice (Paula Newsome) in the first season. Bill Hader teased last month at the Television Critics Association’s virtual press-tour that the third season, “more than anything, shows the ramifications of [Barry’s violence]. Even more bad things happen. Mostly bad.” Barry co-creator Alec Berg added, “What’s interesting: All of the wreckage of seasons one and two that Barry had to do to keep the plates spinning … all goes back to his decision to become an actor. I really enjoy the fact that everything that happens in the show is a consequence of Barry wanting a better life, and every bit of that better life he’s trying to achieve has led to all this chaos.” In addition to Bill Hader and Henry Winkler, Barry season 3 will also feature the return of Stephen Root, Sarah Goldberg, Anthony Carrigan, and Sarah Burns, who you can see in the above trailer.

Barry‘s third season will debut on HBO on April 24, 2022.
