Ozark’s Jason Bateman Thanks Fans For Supporting Netflix Show
Producer/director/star Jason Bateman thanks fans for supporting Ozark as the show’s final episodes drop on Netflix. Bateman was perhaps best known as Arrested Development’s Michael Bluth or being Hollywood’s go-to comedic, audience surrogate. When Ozark premiered on Netflix in 2017, season 1 introduced audiences to Bateman as financial advisor Martin “Marty” Byrde—who relocated his family from Chicago to Missouri after becoming indebted to a prominent drug cartel. Subsequent seasons have followed the Byrdes, and Ruth Langmore (Julia Garner), as they’ve expanded their money laundering business and made increasingly deplorable decisions.
Like many final seasons, Ozark season 4 was split into two halves. The first seven episodes premiered on January 21, 2022, and were a hit for Netflix, garnering a 90% critics and audience score and racking up 4 billion minutes' worth of streams in its first week. The series final seven episodes dropped on the streaming platform on April 29, 2022. If Ozark season 4 part 2 does better than part one—and it likely will—the series could usurp Bridgerton season 2’s current spot in Netflix's weekly Top 10 chart. That said, Bateman wants to thank fans for helping make Ozark one of streaming’s most memorable series.
