• The reporter from TheWrap actually got to visit the set during its final week of production as part of their piece on show. Hader talks about how the decision to direct the entire final season by himself, the general vibe behind the camera on a season that gets into very, very dark and tense territory, and what might come next for him.
• In an interview with Vogue, Hader talks about the need to be honest to the characters and the story drove the turn to darkness and is asked if there's an "autobiographical" element in the show. Hader doesn't deny it, and says that sometimes putting things into the show that reflect himself and realizing it later and what a strange thing it is for people who know him to watch the show and see that as well. He also talks about how he directs himself and about wanting to create his own "corner of the sandbox" after the show is over.
In an interview with The Daily Beast’s Obsessed, Hader previews the final season of “Barry.” And yes, he’s heard all of your complaints that it’s not actually a comedy.https://t.co/haR56jTL8L

• In this interview Hader discusses dark comedy and how Barry embraced a darker tone. He says, "I’m always interested in going into the darker place, but not living in it. It’s weird. You get older, and real shit happens to you. Bad things happen to you, and you go through it. When I see a thing that’s just like, ‘Everything’s great,’ I get very annoyed. Then when I watch something that’s sad, or watch a drama, and it’s humorless, I also get annoyed.”
