Almost two years after its third season debuted, “Ozark” is finally returning for a fourth and final season. The first seven episodes drop on January 21 on Netflix, while the remaining seven are due to arrive at a later date. 

The show stars Jason Bateman as Marty Byrde, a financial advisor with some shady connections. He and his wife, played by Laura Linney, relocate their family from suburban Chicago to the Missouri Ozarks to launder money for a Mexican drug cartel. Operations soon get messy and the Byrdes become intertwined with local criminals and the FBI. It’s gritty, thrilling, and full of drama. 

“Ozark” has accumulated 32 Emmy nominations and secured three wins during its run, including an award for best directing. The show has an “85% Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes. 

How to watch ‘Ozark’ season 4

You can watch the first half of “Ozark” season four starting January 21 exclusively on Netflix. The fourth and final season is being split into two parts, with seven episodes in each. The final seven episodes are set to premiere at a later date, but Netflix hasn’t announced exactly when. 

Basic ($10/month), Standard ($15.50/month), and Premium ($20/month) Netflix subscribers can all stream the new “Ozark” episodes, along with all three previous seasons. Each tier offers different benefits related to streaming quality and the number of screens you can watch. Here’s a breakdown:

• Basic ($10/month): Standard Definition (SD) with one device stream at a time
• Standard ($15.50/month): High definition (HD) with up to two device streams at a time
• Premium ($20/month): 4K Ultra HD quality with up to four device streams at a time

Though it used to, Netflix no longer has a free trial available for new members. You can watch “Ozark,” or anything else in Netflix’s vast library, via any web browser or the Netflix app. The app is available on most smartphones, Xbox consoles, PlayStation consoles, tablets, and smart TVs. 

What else can I watch on Netflix?

Netflix is home to many series, movies, and originals. The entire Netflix library is available to all subscribers, no matter what plan you sign up for. 

If you’re in the mood for more TV thrillers, you should check out popular series like “Breaking Bad,” “Squid Game,” “You,” “Black Mirror,” and “Mindhunter.” For more Jason Bateman content, you can check out “Arrested Development” and “Thunder Force” — two comedies that should offer a nice break from the drama of “Ozark.”
