Bill Hader knew 'Barry's fate as early as Season 2.
While many television series don't plan their story ahead, opting for building on what is dealt with in every season, that wasn't the case for Barry. HBO's dark comedy about a criminal who wants to change the course of his life had a clear vision of where it was going to end. During a recent interview with The Wrap, Bill Hader revealed he knew how the show would end since he was working on the second season.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT I remember talking to Alec Berg in Season 2 about it. We were shooting a scene where Henry Winkler is talking about killing himself with the Rip Torn gun, I think it’s the first episode of Season 2. So we introduced this idea of a Rip Torn gun, and I remember saying it’d be really interesting if Cousineau killed Barry with that gun, and Alec was like, “Oh, yeah.” And then that was kind of it.
While Barry started out as a clever comedy about a former marine who wanted to find a new life for himself, the series evolved into a darker tone, where not a single main character was safe from dying at any moment, and most of them were living fake lives instead of processing their feelings. For example, Sally ran away with Hader's protagonist after he escaped prison, continuing the cycle of abusive relationships she had unfortunately been a part of during most of her life.
On the other hand, Gene Cousineau had probably the saddest fate out of the main roster of Barry characters. Ever since the protagonist had killed his girlfriend, Janice Moss , Gene's life hadn't been the same. He couldn't let the case remain unsolved, eventually leaving his acting career behind him in order to take matters into his own hands.
