A new HBO comedy series premiering in March, Barry is about a hitman from the Midwest who moves to Los Angeles and finds himself caught up in the city's theatre arts scene. I am just now hearing about this show to be honest but HBO really isn't in the business of making bad T.V. so I am sure this will be pretty damn good. The cast includes Bill Hader, Henry "Fonzie" Winkler, Stephen Root, and Sarah Greenberg. Check out the official trailers below!!

Series Premiere Sunday March 25th, 2018 10:00PM EST (HBO)

“Follows the struggle of Richard Hendricks, a silicon valley engineer trying to build his own company called Pied Piper.”

Season 5 of HBO's Silicon Valley finally has a trailer and a release date! I absolutely love this show, and although I am sad to see T.J. Miller leave, I think they have enough of a quality core cast left to keep things rolling along. The writing is fantastic and the show has so many great characters and personalities. Full disclosure, I have rewatched quite a few episodes and they never get old. The cast includes Thomas Middleditch, Kumail Nanjiani, Martin Starr, and Josh Brener. Check out the newly released teaser trailer below! 

Ted Takes Fun Facts, HBO's Silicon Valley:

• Much of the main cast were friends or friendly in real life because they knew each other from the stand-up comedy world. Thomas Middleditch, T.J. Miller, Kumail Nanjiani, and Josh Brener are all seasoned stand-up comedians.
• Kumail Najiani (Dinesh) is from Pakistan and one of his college majors was in Computer Science.
• During the opening credits, you can see how the Facebook signal "eats" the Whatsapp and Oculus signal, referring to their purchase by Facebook.
