When is season 4 of Ozark going to release?

Netflix had renewed Ozark for its fourth season in June 2020. However, the makers are yet to share an official launch date for the season.

The season is likely to be aired at the end of this year, or the start of 2022.  That is because the shooting is still underway. The shooting had been going on since November 2020 and is scheduled to complete in September this year. Among the few details of the fourth season is that title of the first episode of the fourth season is Beginning of the End.

Netflix had confirmed that the fourth season will be the last season and it will divert from its three-season trend of 10 episodes each. For the finale, there will be 14 episodes split into two parts. The arrangement is likely to work out as two seven-episode parts, with a mid-season break between them.
