HBO has renewed “Barry” for a third season, the network said on Wednesday.
The pickup comes two episodes into the Bill Hader-led series’ second season, which premiered on March 31.
“Barry” stars Hader in the title role as a depressed, low-rent hitman from the Midwest who finds himself drawn into a community of acting students while on a job in Los Angeles.
In the second season, Barry is attempting to untangle himself from the world of contract killing and fully immerse himself in acting. But while Barry has eliminated many of the external factors that pushed him towards violence, he soon discovers they weren’t the only forces at play.
