10 TV Characters Finally Returning In 2022
5. Barry Berkman - Barry
While the wait for some of these characters’ returns have been decades long, the delay between seasons of Barry, though just three years, have felt like an eternity due to the cliffhanger on which we were left at the end of season two.
Without spoilers, it seems the jig is up for Bill Hader’s hitman turned actor, a man housing a great capacity for violence trying and failing to be better. We left Barry on a knife edge of his own creation, his secret revealed but with him none the wiser.
Barry cleaned up at its last awards season, with the show mixing comedy and drama better than just about any other on television. Hader takes a character who could be a one-note joke and dives deep into his background (without the need for lengthy exposition), turning what could be a sketch into something fully fleshed out.
Barry (the character and the show) defies the audience to settle on one opinion, and its return, at the end of April, can’t come soon enough.
