How does it all end for the Byrde family? Netflix's hit crime drama Ozark is wrapping up with season 4, which after being broken up into two parts, is now available in its entirety on the streaming service.
Ozark was created by Bill Dubuque and Mark Williams, whose biggest credit prior to the show was the 2016 action film The Accountant starring Ben Affleck (Dubuque wrote and Williams produced). Ozark debuted on Netflix in 2017 and quickly became both a critical and fan-favorite, netting two Outstanding Drama Series nominations at the Emmys for its second and third seasons, as well as a slew of other Emmy noms and a few wins.

Ozark season 3 recap
If you want a quick refresher before diving into the final season of Ozark, we've got a brief recap for you right here. SPOILER ALERT, obviously.
The biggest development of Ozark season 3 came in its final moments, where Marty and Wendy Byrde reluctantly go down to Mexico with Helen Pierce to meet with drug-dealer Omar Navarro. They were greeted with a shocking welcome, as almost immediately a gunman shoots Helen in the head, splattering blood and brain onto Marty and Wendy. Navarro tells him that he made the choice to continue with the Byrdes instead of his former attorney. But what will that mean moving forward?
Elsewhere, Ruth has joined with Darlene Snell in starting up a heroin operation with the help of the KC mob; the FBI is keeping a watchful eye on the Byrde’s running of the Missouri Belle casino; and the family is reeling following the death of Wendy’s brother Ben.
Who is in the Ozark cast?
The duo leading Ozark throughout its entire has been Jason Bateman and Laura Linney as Marty and Wendy Byrde. But perhaps the MVP of the series has been Julia Garner as Ruth Langmore.
Garner has earned two of Ozark’s three Emmy wins, winning for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for the last two seasons of the show (the other win is for Jason Bateman as a director, FYI).
While Ozark lost some fan favorite characters as a result of the twists and turns of season 3, here is the principal cast as we head into season 4:
- Jason Bateman - Marty Byrde
- Laura Linney - Wendy Byrde
- Julia Garner - Ruth Langmore
- Sofia Hublitz - Charlotte Byrde
- Skylar Gaertner - Jonah Byrde
- Lisa Emery - Darlene Snell
- Charlie Tahan - Wyatt Langmore
- Jessica Frances Dukes - Special Agent Maya Miller
- Felix Solis - Omar Navarro
There are also a couple new additions for the final season with Veronica Falcón as Camila Elizonndro and Ali Stroker as Charles-Ann.
