Ozark season 4 part 1 will arrive on Netflix first with seven episodes and the remainder to the other seven episodes will arrive later. Among the cast members, most of them are expected to reprise their roles. Hence, fans can expect to see Jason Bateman as Marty Byrde, Laura Linney as Wendy Byrde, Julia Garner as Ruth Langmore, Sofia Hublitz as Charlotte Byrde and Skylar Gaertner as Jonah Byrde. Sadly for Ozark fans, the reason behind the show's cancellation after season 4 has not been revealed. The Express report suggests that it was probably the showrunners' decision to give the show a satisfactory ending and leave while the hype was still high. It also stated that there are speculations that the Byrdes might potentially get wiped out in a massacre.
