TV SAVE THE DATE: OZARK SEASON 4

The highly anticipated new series of crime drama Ozark arrives with a ‘bang’, says Jason Bateman, who plays financial planner Marty Byrde.

Talking about the show before this series was confirmed, Ozark producer Chris Mundy suggested a new season would be about whether or not the Byrdes can ‘turn the biggest mistake of their lives into this huge advantage’, and ask ‘how much will karma catch up with them if they do?’ On Netflix from 21st January 2022
