Barry: Season 3

April 17, 2022

Barry is a dark comedy drama series from creators Alec Berg and Bill Hader, and serves as Hader’s directorial debut. When the idea for the series was presented, Berg thought that a show about a hitman wouldn't be well-received or funny Hader asked "well, what if the hitman was me?". With the 3rd season set to release and a 4th seemingly on the horizon, it seem that was the right decision.

Disillusioned at the thought of taking down another "mark," depressed, low-level hit man Barry Berkman seeks a way out. When the Midwesterner reluctantly travels to Los Angeles to execute a hit on an actor who is bedding a mobster's wife, little does Barry know that the City of Angels may be his sanctuary.

The series stars Bill Hader, Stephen Root, Henry Winkler, Sarah Goldberg, and Anthony Carrigan.

Fun fact about the series, former Happy Days star Henry Winkler showed up to audition for the show even though Bill Hader and Alec Berg have stated that they would have just offered him the role regardless. Winkler insisted that he audition like everyone else.

Barry: Season 3 is set to debut on April 24th, only on HBO. Watch the official trailer below.

Genre Action | Comedy | Drama

Cast Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, Tanner Buchanan, Jacob Bertrand

Rating TV-14

Series Premiere April 24th, 2019 (YouTube Red)

“Decades after their 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament bout, a middle-aged Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence find themselves martial-arts rivals again.”

The Karate Kid comeback was enough of a success that we are getting a 2nd season!! Exclusive to YouTube Red, Cobra Kai reunites old rivals Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka). Check out the official trailer below!!

Ted Takes Fun Facts, Cobra Kai:

  • Johnny Lawrence confirms the long held belief that Daniel LaRusso's crane kick, that won him the tournament in The Karate Kid (1984), was an illegal move and should have resulted in at least a warning (or had him disqualified with Johnny then being crowned champion of the tournament).

Cobra Kai may have won the battle, but the war has just begun. Watch Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso pick up where they left off in Season 1, and train a new generation in the way of karate. But will their past get in the way of what truly matters?
