Barry Season 3: Bill Hader Revealed Production Status!
When the cast and crew were ready to film the third season of the show, the world got hit by a sudden pandemic. It completely ruined the production schedule of every single show and movie. According to Bill Hader, the scripting for Barry Season 3 was completed in March 2020. But they never got a chance to film the show. And in the break time, the writers even completed the scripting of Barry Season 4. Below you can read the full statement by Bill Hader.
He said, “Right when the lockdown occurred in March we were a week away from the filming. The last time I was in a place with many people was the table read for Episodes 1 and 2 of the third season, and we were ready to go. And then it all got closed down. Season 3 is fully written and set to go, and while this time we went and wrote Barry Season 4, so we have both of these kinds of done. We’re just waiting until we can begin shooting again.”
What Will Happen?
The plot of the series revolves around a hitman named Barry Berkman, who suddenly appears in an acting class. He met Sally there, an aspiring actress, and he fell for her. He tries to quit his former habits, but he is often met with challenges when doing so.
Barry is still continuing the illegal life. Fuchs orders him to beat a person that is unusual and requires him to continue in his life. He declines to kill because he wants to advance his career in acting. In the second season finale, Cousineau learns that Fuches told that Barry is responsible for Janice’s death. So now in Barry Season 3, the viewers will see the aftermaths of these events.
Barry Season 3: Release Date
The previous two seasons of the series premiered in the month of March. So everyone is expecting Barry Season 3 to premiere by the end of March 2021. But since its production hasn’t even started, it is quite unlikely. It might be possible for the fans to see the third season of the series in the second half of 2021.
