Desperate to leave his violent past behind in favor of his newfound passion, Barry (Hader) finds himself in Season 3 “attempting to untangle himself from the world of contract killing and fully immerse himself in acting. But getting out is messy,” per the season synopsis. “While Barry has eliminated many of the external factors that pushed him towards violence, he soon discovers they weren’t the only forces at play. What is it about his own psyche that led him to become a killer in the first place? Season 3 finds Barry and the other characters trying to make the right choice.”

The cast includes series regulars Stephen Root, Sarah Goldberg, Anthony Carrigan, Henry Winkler and Sarah Burns. D’Arcy Carden and Michael Irby recur.
