The dark comedy series ‘Barry’, starring Emmy winner Bill Hader, returns for its eight-episode second season on March 31, Sunday.

The story revolves around a man named Barry who is desperate to leave his violent past behind in favor of his newfound passion, so is attempting to untangle himself from the world of contract killing and fully immerse himself in acting. But getting out is messy.

As season two opens, Barry struggles to focus exclusively on the theater and his girlfriend and classmate Sally, hoping against hope to rid himself of the ties that bind him to the Chechen mob group now led by Noho Hank, who ascended to the top job after Barry whacked his boss last season.

Although he’s persuaded grieving acting coach Gene Cousineau to return to class, Barry is incapable of extricating himself from a violent criminal triangle involving the Chechen, Bolivian and Burmese underworlds — not to mention some deeply suspicious LA detectives.

Meanwhile, on the Midwest horizon looms Monroe Fuches, Barry’s erstwhile boss, who has found it exceedingly difficult to hire a replacement in Cleveland as capable as his onetime ace assassin.

Season two’s first episode  “The Show Must Go On, Probably?” will be aired on HBO at 10:00–10:30 p.m. ET/PT.

The first episode will see Barry (Bill Hader) trying to convince Sally (Sarah Goldberg) and the rest of the class to go ahead with a performance, despite the absence of teacher Gene Cousineau (Henry Winkler), who’s grief-stricken after the disappearance of Detective Moss.

With Goran gone, Noho Hank (Anthony Carrigan) and Cristobal’s (Michael Irby) new partnership faces growing pains and jealousy issues. Back in Cleveland, Fuches (Stephen Root) learns that replacement hitmen don’t come easy.
