Ozark is a Netflix Original TV series, and it’s about to come back for its fourth season. The show follows the story of Marty Byrde, a Chicago-based financial advisor who moves his family from the city to an Ozarks mountain resort community called “The Lake of the Ozarks” as part of a money-laundering scheme that goes wrong.
About Ozark:
The show was created by Bill Dubuque, who had worked on films such as The Judge and The Accountant. Dubuque said that Ozark presents a “fun opportunity” because it is something different from his usual work.
The show focuses on the family of Marty Byrde, a financial planner who moves from Chicago to Missouri with his wife and two kids to launder $500 million for a Mexican drug cartel. Ozark season four will see the Byrde family running their business in Missouri. Meanwhile, they will try to save themselves from a Mexican cartel and FBI agents.
