The season opener, titled “The Audition,” saw Barry (played by Emmy®-winning actor Bill Hader) navigating a new challenge as he prepared to audition for a coveted role in a prestigious theater company. With his acting skills and nerves put to the test, Barry had to prove to himself and his acting teacher Gene Cousineau (played by Stephen Root) that he had what it takes to make it in the world of professional theater.
Meanwhile, Barry’s former boss and mentor Fuches (played by Stephen Root) continued to manipulate and control him from behind the scenes, using Barry’s connections in the criminal underworld to further his own schemes. And as Barry struggled to balance his newfound passion for acting with his old life of violence and crime, he found himself drawn back into a dangerous world of hitmen, drug dealers, and corrupt police officers.

With its signature mix of dark humor and high-stakes drama, “Barry” is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
