The Byrde family will find themselves in more hot water when Ozark season 3 returns to Netflix.

Ozark season 3 is coming to Netflix! 10 new episodes of the show are planned to be released on the streaming service next year. Main star Jason Bateman, who is also directing the first two episodes of the upcoming season, announced the initial renewal news over on Twitter towards the back end of 2018:

I'm happy for me, but concerned for Marty – it's official OZARK 3 is on its way. pic.twitter.com/xeGXZxfrjB — Jason Bateman (@batemanjason) October 10, 2018

“Excited for myself, but terribly concerned for Marty,” Bateman wrote. Us too.

As long as there’s an viewer base for the crime drama series, it will continue on for a fair while yet. The team behind Ozark have a five year plan set out, they seem open so far to extending the story beyond that.

“We’ve always talked about it as five seasons. It could be four, it could be seven … but that always seemed like a good number to us,” said showrunner Chris Mundy at the Milken Global Conference in Beverly Hills back in April.

Ozark Season 3 Release Date

So precisely when is Ozark Season 3 coming out on Netflix?

Ozark started filming its third season over in Georgia in May, and production on season 3 will continue until October, which means the series won’t return to Netflix until 2020. Sorry!

Ozark Season 3 Cast

According to a Deadline report, four fresh faces have been cast in Ozark Season 3. Tom Pelphrey (Iron Fist) will play Ben Davis, Wendy Davis’s carefree younger brother. Jessica Frances Dukes (Jessica Jones) will play FBI forensic account Maya Miller, who is charged with taking down Marty Byrde. Pelphrey and Dukes will be series regulars.

Joseph Sikora (Power) will portray Frank Cosgrove Jr., the hotheaded son of Kansas City mob boss Frank Cosgrove. Felix Solis (Ten Days in the Valley) will play Omar Navarro, the leader of a massive Mexican drug cartel.

Lisa Emery and Janet McTeer will have their recurring roles from season 2 bumped up to series regulars.

Bateman will be back as Marty Byrde, naturally, as will Linney as Wendy, and Ruth Langmore as Julia Gardner. A recent casting call for the production asked for upscale shoppers, families and loads of extras for a casino shoot – let your mind run, er, wild.

Ozark Season 3 Story Details

According to the cast and showrunner Mundy, Marty and Wendy will be “struggling with their power dynamic and ‘dealing with outside forces'” when season 3 kicks off, as Wendy’s brother, “who we’ve hinted at the first couple years as having some mental illness in the past” will be “a very destabilising factor” for the pair.
