#3. Barry season 4 plot revealed

The big question for Barry season 4 is "how soon is Barry going to get out of this jam?" Because while the titular hitman who just wants to act has spent the better part of three seasons trying to escape the one job he's actually good at, he now has to figure out a new escape. It's unclear if the plot to bring Barry in was all Gene Cousineau or if Jim Moss had a role to play too, but it feels like those two may be looking over their shoulders were Barry to break free. 
Oh, and there's some funny timing about Barry getting arrested. He could run across Fuches in prison, as his former mentor also got caught at the end of the season.

Then, there's the story of NoHo Hank and Cristobal. Now that our favorite Chechen mobster has saved his lover, the two need to get home in one piece. In the Barry world, odds say they don't have a safe trip back, and will have more chaos to dodge. Once they're safe and sound, we bet these lovers will want the same thing Barry does: to escape the life of crime.
Lastly, let's give a moment to Sally, who will likely be offended she's not getting higher billing here. Traveling back to Joplin to get back in touch with her roots, Sally now has an enemy in former friend Natalie Greer. But considering how this show works, we bet the two will wind up working together again, just like how Cousineau's on his own forgiveness tour.

Barry season 4 is confirmed to have eight episodes, following the episode count of the first three seasons. Each installment lasts between 26-35 minutes in length and the episode titles have always remained in lower caps as a stylistic choice.

It’s already been confirmed that season 4 will begin with a double bill. After the first two episodes premiere on April 16, the series will then settle down into releasing weekly on a Sunday. In our full release schedule for Barry season 4, we include the episode titles that we know so far and the air date for the finale.
