Everything we know about Ozark season 4, the final episode of Netflix’s popular crime drama, including its likely 2022 release date.
Ozark season 4 – the final season in Netflix’s popular crime saga starring Jason Bateman and Laura Linney – is due to be released in two halves of 7 episodes. We’re expecting the series to close out with a bang. Since this series debuted on the streamer back in 2017, the murder and deceit that surrounds the morally bankrupt Byrde family has made for thrilling viewing. Now, after a shocking twist to finish off season 3 in its final seconds, we’re excited to see how Ozark actually ends. Surprising viewers season after season, Ozark delivers a dark, grizzly drama that somehow manages to make the number-crunching behind a drug cartel seem entertaining as all hell. The Byrde family’s descent into this criminal underworld has been the driving force of the show, with the cartel higher-ups slowly creeping their way closer to the Ozarks with each season. Things got personal in season 3, however, as Wendy’s brother Ben, played by Tom Pelphrey, was brought into the mix, proving to be a real test of Wendy’s commitment to the cartel. In June 2020, Netflix renewed Ozark for a 14-episode season 4, to be divided into two sets of seven episodes, and filming commenced last year – so we won’t have to wait forever to find out what happens next. So, as the slow-cranking tension comes to a snapping point, what can we expect from the show’s fourth and final season? And when can we expect to see Ozark season 4 release on Netflix? Read on for everything we know so far. Ozark season 4 entered production in November, but a release date for the final episodes is yet to be confirmed. The final season will comprise 14 episodes, divided into two sets of seven episodes to be released at different times. While we had hoped that Netflix would release season 4 part 1 in 2021, the show wasn’t mentioned in a recent statement about content coming in the second half of this year – which confirmed the likes of The Witcher, You, Sex Education and Cobra Kai would return in the second half of 2021. That leads us to believe that Ozark season 4 will probably release in 2022 now. Star Jason Bateman seems confident that the series’ production was going to move ahead safely. « Everything is moving well toward that, and we’re very confident in the guidelines and protocols we’re going to be following. We’ve got tons of consultants, [and] we’re learning a lot from other productions. » Bateman has also said that the Ozark season 4 release date will be determined by whether the show stays in production mid-pandemic without any delays – so hopefully the measures they’re taking on-set will help get the show out faster. Here’s who we expect to see in the Ozark season 4 cast: The fourth season of Ozark will see a host of returning (and surviving) characters as the show reaches its dreaded climax.
