A killer is revealed in the season 3 teaser of HBO’s Barry

All Barry Berkman really wants out of life is a chance to escape his violent past so that he can pursue his new passion for acting. Is that too much to ask? In HBO’s Barry, the answer to that question is apparently “yes.” After all, his life as a hitman has always been his greatest moral failing. And now, Barry’s mentor, Gene Cousineau, knows exactly what kind of man he truly is.

In the first trailer for Barry season 3, we see a flashback to one of season 2’s most pivotal moments. Barry’s former ally, Monroe Fuches, exposed Barry’s crime to Gene. Barry killed Detective Janice Moss when she got too close to the truth. She also happened to be intimate with Gene. And now that Gene is aware of the truth, he’s absolutely terrified of Barry.

There’s a very tense sense of foreboding in this trailer. That begs the question: Who else has Gene told about Barry? And how long will Barry be able to keep up his façade if the truth about his identity could be revealed at any moment?

HBO also released an official synopsis for Barry season 3: “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.”

Barry season 3 will premiere on HBO and HBO Max on Sunday, April 24.

For All Mankind’s new teaser announces season 3 premiere
Welcome to Mars in For All Mankind season 3.

Apple TV+'s For All Mankind is one of the more original sci-fi series to come along in years. Instead of portraying a universe where aliens are real, it depicts a very convincing alternate reality in which the Soviet Union was the first country to make it to the moon. Consequently, the space race never ended. And in the new teaser for For All Mankind season 3, humanity's efforts have resulted in the first-ever manned mission to Mars ... in 1995.

Additionally, Apple TV+ released a brief synopsis for the new season, as well as the release date for the third season premiere: "In this alt-history timeline, the global superpowers set their sights on the red planet in the newest leg of the space race. In uncharted territory, the competition to land on Mars first is only the beginning. For All Mankind season 3 lands June 10."

Netflix show You jets to London with a new cast for season 4
Penn Badgley in You.

Netflix's You has shown fans that it can marry off a serial killer, but it can't keep a bad man down for long. (Warning, spoilers ahead.) Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) was trapped in a marriage with Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) a female serial killer who was even more bloodthirsty than he is. Even when they had a son together, Joe gravitated toward the more stable (and far less murderous) Marienne Bellamy (Tati Gabrielle). Ultimately, that meant Love had to die. But now Joe is a free man once more.

The new season of You will take place in London, as Joe pursues Marienne in a new country. Badgley and Gabrielle are the only cast members currently slated to return. Regardless, there's a new supporting cast this season. And we're willing to bet that more than a few will meet their end at the hands of Joe.
