Similar to its HBO stablemate Succession, Barry starring Bill Hader is wrapping the series up with season 4 โ must be a prestige television thing โ and based on the teaser trailer dropped today, the conclusion will be pretty definitive.
โItโs been an amazing journey making this show, and itโs bittersweet that the story has come to its natural conclusion,โ said Bill Hader, who co-created the critically-acclaimed dark comedy with Alec Berg (Seinfeld, Silicon Valley) in addition to portraying the titular depressed hitman.
โAfter three masterful seasons of Barry, we are eager for viewers to see the powerful, complex, and hilarious conclusion to Barry Berkmanโs story,โ said Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President (Comedy) at HBO/HBO Max.

In the first preview, we catch a glimpse of the continued unravelling of a newly-incarcerated Barryโs psyche during the immediate aftermath of season 3. While in prison, heโs haunted by visions/hallucinations of his ex-girlfriend Sally (Sarah Goldberg), former friend and mentor Gene Cousineau (Henry Winkler), as well as โhandlerโ Monroe Fuches (Stephen Root).
The most intriguing detail, however, involves a beaten-up Barry making a very serious threat into the prison phone: โSo help me God, if I get out of here, Iโm coming for you.โ At this stage, the target of said threat is anyoneโs guess. But we have our theoriesโฆ
