What’s This TV Show About?
An HBO sitcom, Barry stars Bill Hader, Stephen Root, Sarah Goldberg, Glenn Fleshler, Anthony Carrigan, and Henry Winkler. The dark comedy centers on Barry (Hader), a Midwestern hitman. When his handler, Fuches (Root), loans him to Goran Pazar (Fleshler), of the Chechen mob, Barry travels to Los Angeles. There, he follows his target to Gene Cousineau’s (Winkler) acting class, and soon falls in love with the community and the idea of a whole new life.

Telly’s Take
Although it premiered with mediocre ratings for a premium cable comedy, it is still too early to predict whether HBO will cancel or renew Barry for season two. I suspect it will be renewed. For now, I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free Barry cancellation and renewal alerts.
