The HBO drama ‘Barry’, starring its creator Bill Hader as a hitman pursuing life as an actor in Los Angeles, will end after its upcoming fourth season, HBO announced in a press release, on Tuesday.
The teaser shows the aftermath of the Season 3 finale, with Hader as Barry Berkman, an Ohioan hitman who comes to Los Angeles for a job, but ends up seeking redemption after finding community in an acting class, now in prison, thanks to his former acting teacher Gene Cousineau (Henry Winkler).
Even after the idea for the ending of “Barry” had come to Hader, he said during that time he’d find himself thinking, “but we have such a good time doing it!” Hader, the “Barry” creative team and HBO certainly have plenty of reasons to keep the show going.
