Ozark is back for a fourth season as the Byrde family try to do all they can to survive in the brutal world of money laundering for a drug cartel.
One of Netflix's best-loved series, the first half of the TV show's fourth season, is set for a launch this month.
The family of four have been through hell and back together but have, through a mixture of luck and judgement, made it through brutal hurdles that have cost the lives of countless people around them.
To make things even crazier, if season three's finale is anything to go by, it seems that the Byrde family may even be entering season four at the top of the food chain following the death of Helen.
Now, for a fourth time, viewers are about to be whisked away to the visually stunning world of the Ozarks, where violence, boats and trucks reign supreme.
What happened at the end of Ozark Season 3?
Lawyer Helen was brutally executed at the end of the last season much to the surprise of the Byrdes.
Speaking about the finale and her shocking death to Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Chris Mundy said: “As good as Helen is, there’s other lawyers in the world.”
“But Wendy and Marty have now pulled off two impossibilities for [Navarro]. One is getting a casino to launder through in the first place, which is sort of the holy grail of money laundering.
"And the second is that, at least in Navarro’s mind, their claim that they have the FBI on their side and can swing the power of the U.S. government in the intervention in the drug war against their rivals, that’s something virtually no one else can do, and that essentially tipped the scales for Marty and Wendy.”

Jason Bateman will once again be returning as Marty Byrde, the show's main character and "financial advisor" who heads up the cartel's money-laundering operation in the Ozarks.
Bateman is a bit of a household name these days, having featured in the likes of Horrible Bosses, Juno, Game Night, and Arrested Development.
Marty's wife Wendy Byrde is also set for a return and will once again be played by Laura Linney. The Love Actually star picked up a Golden Globe nomination for best actress in a television drama for her work as Wendy in 2021.

Garner picked up two Emmys for best-supporting actress for her work on Ozark, which is also possibly her biggest role to date.
She has also been in Perks of Being a Wallflower and Maniac.
Elsewhere, Bruce Davison will play retired senator Randall Schafer while the likes of Felix Solis, Charlie Tahan and Jessica Frances Dukes are all set to make returns.
