“Barry” has been renewed for Season 4, HBO announced on Wednesday. Production on the new season will begin in June in Los Angeles, and series star/co-creator/writer Bill Hader will direct all eight episodes.
The Emmy-winning comedy series is currently in the midst of airing its acclaimed third season, as the story of a hitman-turned-aspiring-actor reaches new depths (and levels of darkness).
Hader directed five of Season 3’s eight episodes and also helmed the show’s pilot as well as other standout episodes, but Season 4 is the first time he’s directing an entire season himself. He joins the likes of Steven Soderbergh (“The Knick”), Barry Jenkins (“The Underground Railroad”) and Jean-Marc Vallee (“Big Little Lies”) as filmmakers who have directed entire seasons of TV.
