90 Barry: Season 4

Season 4 debuts April 16 on HBO and HBO Max

Like Succession, another one of HBO's most acclaimed and popular shows is ending this spring with its fourth season—and, like that other show, the end comes as a choice made by the series creators rather than the network. The latest installment of the Emmy-winning dark comedy Barry will move the story in a radical new direction following last season's finale, which saw Bill Hader's titular assassin finally arrested. Will Barry come to a satisfying conclusion? There's reason to suspect it will: Season 4 was actually written in its entirety in 2020 prior to filming season 3, and the latter was then re-written to fit the overarching storyline. Hader directs all eight episodes this season after helming a handful over the previous seasons—including some of the show's most memorable installments—and the first two of those new episodes will air (and stream) back-to-back on April 16th.
