Netflix previously announced the renewal of Ozark season 4, and this will serve as the final installment of the series. The series finale of the Jason Bateman-led drama will, reportedly, consist of 14 episodes and will be split into two.
Some speculated that both halves of Ozark season 4 could arrive in 2021, though everything depends on when production could begin. There's also a chance that the other half could air in 2022 since there are a lot of things that should be considered.
Due to the current global health crisis, the fate of most shows remains uncertain -- including this one. There are no updates as to when filming will kick-off. Because of this, there could be a potential delay with the arrival of the final installment.
According to a report from Deadline, the series finale will be longer, wherein the 14 episodes will be split into two. Although it's unclear what does this means for the series, we'll witness some sort of a cable network's mid-season finale.
As for what we can expect in Ozark season 4, Bateman teased that a super-sized season means super-sized problems for the Byrdes. His statement hints that more problems are coming for the family, so it's exciting to see how they deal with all of these moving forward.
A lot of stories are worth-exploring in Ozark season 4, with the previous installment ended with big surprises and a huge power shift. Marty Byrde and his wife Wendy will be facing a new danger once the final season arrives on Netflix.
Cartel lawyer Helen Pierce planned to kill the Byrdes as she wanted to take over the business. But then, Omar Navarro's men killed her and saved the family at the very last moment. It looks like the couple will get their hands dirty since they're now directly working for Navarro.
Meanwhile, Ruth Langmore turned her back against the Byrdes. She joined the Snell operation, so we could see the character descend into darkness. The final installment could see whether or not Ruth is capable of making something of her own that she wants and is sustainable.
As for who's returning in Ozark season 4, most of the characters are coming back. That means we'll see Bateman reprising his role as Marty Byrde, along with Laura Linney as Wendy Byrde, Sofia Hublitz as Charlotte Byrde, Skylar Gaertner as Jonah Bryde, Garner as Ruth Langmore, Charlie Tahan as Wyatt Langmore, and Lisa Emery as Darlene Snell.
