Season 3 debuts April 24 on HBO and HBO Max
You may as well clear your schedule for the entire month of April because here comes yet another critically acclaimed hit series returning after a multi-year absence. TV's best hit-man comedy, which aired its last new episode in May 2019, is back for a third season that will pick up sometime after the events of the season 2 finale, which saw Henry Winkler's Gene Cousineau arrested for murdering his girlfriend while Bill Hader's Barry goes free—enabling him to take out nearly an entire gang—but ends with the revelation that Stephen Root's Fuches has told Gene who really killed his girlfriend: Barry. Expect everyone else back from the main cast, including Sarah Goldberg, Anthony Carrigan, D'Arcy Carden, and Sarah Burns. And, given that a fourth season has already been written in full, you shouldn't have to wait quite so long for the next batch of episodes.
Also of note: Debuting just after Barry on HBO's Sunday-night lineup is newcomer The Baby. Co-produced by the UK's Sky, the eight-episode, darkly comedic horror series stars Michelle De Swarte (The Duchess) as a 38-year-old woman who has no interest in joining her friends in motherhood. But when she very suddenly becomes a mother anyway, it's even worse than she imagined, thanks to the small fact that her baby appears to be evil, manipulative, violent, and supernatural. That series comes from Sian Robins-Grace (Sex Education) and Lucy Gaymer (Gangs of London).
