Created by Bill Dubuque, the show centers on financial planner Marty Byrde, played by Jason Bateman.

Marty relocates his family from Chicago to a summer resort community in the Ozarks.

The concluding run will be expanded to fourteen episodes (instead of the usual ten) and be split into 2 parts.

Showrunner Chris Mundy spoke out about the news in a statement.

"We're so happy Netflix recognized the importance of giving Ozark more time to end the Byrdes' saga right," he said. "It's been such a great adventure for all of us — both on-screen and off — so we're thrilled to get the chance to bring it home in the most fulfilling way possible."

The series is set to go out with a bang.
