Ozark Showrunner Open To Spinoff Following Series Finale
Ozark showrunner Chris Mundy reveals he is open to a spinoff as the popular Netflix series debuts its finale. Ozarks follows the tale of Marty and Wendy Byrde as they uproot their family from Chicago and move to the Missouri Ozarks, intent on laundering money for a Mexican drug cartel. With starring roles from Jason Bateman, Laura Linney, and Julia Garner, both critics and audiences alike widely consider Ozark one of the modern era's most compelling and well-written crime dramas. The four-season thriller released its final episodes on April 29, 2022.

In a recent interview, showrunner Mundy discussed the final scene and noted its intent to catch audiences off guard completely. With Jonah being the last family member to resort to violence, it's safe to say that audiences received the message and likely crave more of the criminal Byrde family business.
