Barry will not return for a fifth season. The comedy will end with season four. This information was confirmed by two stars of the series – Anthony Carrigan and Henry Winkler.
Winkler revealed that Barry would end at four seasons while on the red carpet for the Primetime Emmy Awards, per Game Rant. He said the following:
“Four. Because Bill [Hader] and Alec [Berg] never try to stretch. Now, I don’t mean like stretch by being better, I mean they never try to stuff something that doesn’t […] they don’t wanna push it.”
