Jordan Moreau Barry Berkman is behind bars in the final trailer for HBO’s “Barry,” which is ending its acclaimed run after four seasons. Season 4 premieres on April 16. In the official trailer, we see Barry (Bill Hader) eating alone and losing his mind in prison. In the Season 3 finale, the police finally catch the professional assassin turned Hollywood actor…who turned back into an unhinged killer last season. “I’m really sorry. I didn’t think it would end up like this. I am a good person; that is who I am,” Barry tells himself, as he shouts alone in the prison yard, points at unseen objects and screams and slaps himself in a mirror.
Th trailer then shows what the supporting cast has been up to since Barry’s arrest. “Barry, you’re irredeemable,” his former acting coach Gene Cousineau (Henry Winkler) says. In the Season 3 finale, Gene teamed up with Jim Moss (Robert Wisdom), the father of his murdered girlfriend Janice Moss, to ambush Barry and help the police arrest him.
Meanwhile, Sally (Sarah Goldberg) is back in her hometown of Joplin, Mo., after fleeing Los Angeles. In the previous finale, she killed one of the motocross attackers who had come looking for Barry, but Barry promised to take the blame and dispose of the body. “The guy I was dating in L.A. killed my acting teacher’s girlfriend. I think I might be in a lot of trouble,” Sally realizes in the trailer.

The handcuffs were a jarring cap on three seasons that spent so much time and effort questioning whether Barry was capable of finding a good person within himself and committing to a nonviolent lifestyle for good. But as Season 4 opens, Barry is a miserable shell of himself, scavenging for a reason — any reason — to live.

Hader’s title character wants to express himself, but also hide his true nature; his classmates and teacher all firmly believe they’re undiscovered stars. Even violent criminals like chipper Chechen NoHo Hank (Anthony Carrigan) were largely comic creations.
