Barry Season 3 - What We Know So Far

"Barry" was renewed for Season 3 while the second season was still airing, per The Hollywood Reporter. Season 3 probably would have premiered sometime in 2020 if the COVID-19 pandemic hadn't happened, but the schedule got shifted and the third season didn't start shooting until early this year, according to Deadline. However, Henry Winkler contradicted that report, telling The Hollywood Reporter in March that he would be returning to "Barry" this summer, so we're not sure quite what the production schedule is at this point. Whatever is happening, there's no premiere date yet, and considering how many shows HBO has on its slate and this particular show's relatively late-in-the-pandemic production resumption, it seems unlikely that the show will air in 2021. But we'll see.

The good news is that Hader, co-creator Alec Berg, and their writers used their production downtime to write all of Season 4, too. In January, Hader told Seth Meyers that they wrote a fourth season during quarantine even though it hadn't been officially greenlit. And even though it hasn't been officially greenlit, "Barry" is extremely likely to get a fourth season, according to HBO and HBO Max chief content officer Casey Bloys.

"Typically, we don't pick up things until they air but if I was betting on whether we would do more, I think that is a very safe bet," Bloys told Deadline.
