“We’re so happy Netflix recognized the importance of giving Ozark more time to end the Byrdes’ saga right, said Chris Mundy, Executive Producer and Showrunner. He continued, saying, “It’s been such a great adventure for all of us — both on screen and off — so we’re thrilled to get the chance to bring it home in the most fulfilling way possible.”

A super sized season means super sized problems for the Byrdes. I’m excited to end with a bang(s).
