Ahead of the season four's announcement, showrunner Chris Mundy in an interview with Entertainment Weekly teased season four and said that if they are lucky enough to get a season 4, it will be about whether or not Ruth really can create something of her own that she wants, if is sustainable, or if she wants something else entirely.

He added, "And I think it will be about if the Byrdes can turn the biggest mistake of their lives into this huge advantage, and how much will karma catch up with them if they do?."

Ozark has received a largely positive reception from critics, with praise towards its tone, acting, directing, and writing. The series has received 32 Primetime Emmy Award nominations including two for Outstanding Drama Series, with Bateman winning for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series in 2019 and Julia Garner winning twice consecutively for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2019 and 2020.
