“After three masterful seasons of Barry, we are eager for viewers to see the powerful, complex, and hilarious conclusion to Barry Berkman’s story. It has been a pleasure working with this immensely talented team including Bill Hader, Alec Berg, Aida Rodgers, and the entire exceptional cast and crew,” said Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President of Comedy Programming at HBO/HBO Max.

On the other hand, the news of the show is surprising for the fans, as all the prior seasons have amazing ratings among viewers and critics, and the third season alone holds a 99% rating with an average rating of 9.15/10, based on 109 reviews. On Metacritic, the season has a score of 94 out of 100, based on 19 critics, indicating “universal acclaim.”

It seems evident that the creators planned to conclude the show with the fourth season. Moreover, in an interview announcing the final season Hader talked about what went into his decision to end “Barry.” He stated, “Yeah! It was very much in the writing and the storytelling. I mean, a lot of people after last season were like, “Why are you doing another season? It should have just ended.”

Further adding, “But to me, there are still so many questions with the other characters, and with Barry – and there are so many things unsaid. What happens in Season 4 is structurally radical in some ways, but it made sense for what I think the characters needed to go through, and what I think the whole show is always kind of headed towards. You realize, well, we could pad a lot of stuff, and just make the story. But if we’re going forward, it ends in Season 4.”
