Hey, you can say it. Netflix’s “Ozark” seemed pretty familiar at first, a “Breaking Bad” style thriller mixing family and crime and a regular guy turned crime kingpin who appeared to be able to wriggle out of any situation. But look, four seasons later and the critically-acclaimed and Emmy-winning “Ozark” is arguably just as good, leaning much harder into the idea of crime and family merging—given the whole family’s involved, husband, wife, and teenagers all slowly losing their souls and sense of morality in the process—and really becoming a story about ordinary people desperate to survive the circumstances they themselves created in order to get out of an even bigger mess.
Plus, “Ozark” has had a whole host of great, critically-acclaimed actors and directors working on the series, including star Jason Bateman, whose filmmaking career has excelled so much in recent years, he recently won a Best Directing Emmy for his work on the show.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, “Ozark” centers on the Byrde family, who four seasons later have become pawns deep in the pocket of the Mexican Cartel. There’s been a lot of family collateral damage, death and in this final season—broken into two, the first half premiered in January—the family is trying to see if they can escape from this mess alive.
“Ozark” has a terrific cast that includes Jason Bateman, Laura Linney, Julia Garner, Sofia Hublitz, Skylar Gaertner, Charlie Tahan, Jessica Frances Dukes, Lisa Emery, Felix Solis, Damian Young, Alfonso Herrera, Adam Rothenberg, John Bedford Lloyd, Joseph Sikora, Bruno Bichir, Katrina Lenk, CC Castillo, and Ali Stroker.
The end is near; the final episodes of Ozark will premiere in exactly one month, on April 29, 2022. Once the finale has aired, viewers will be able to take a deep dive into the making of the final season in “A Farewell to Ozark,” a 30-minute retrospective that serves as a love letter to one of Netflix’s great drama series. The piece, which will be available on Netflix, explores the genesis of the series, the rich characters we loved and loved to hate, the gripping performances that captivated us, the creatives who made magic behind the camera, and a wealth of memories over the last five years.
