What’s This TV Show About?
Streaming on the Netflix paid subscription platform, Ozark stars Jason Bateman, Laura Linney, Sofia Hublitz, Skylar Gaertner, Julia Garner, Jordana Spiro, Jason Butler Harner, Esai Morales, Peter Mullan, Lisa Emery, Josh Randall, Harris Yulin, Michael Mosley, Marc Menchaca, and Trevor Long.
The crime drama centers on Marty Byrde (Bateman), a Chicago financial advisor. Marty has been laundering money along with his partner, Bruce (Randall), for Camino Del Rio (Morales), a drug lord who works for a major cartel. When Del learns $8 million of his money has gone missing, he takes out Bruce, but gives a reprieve to Marty, after listening to his pitch on how he can repay him. Although their marriage is on the rocks, now Marty and his wife Wendy (Linney) must pull together as they uproot their children — Charlotte (Hublitz) and Jonah (Gaertner) — and start over in a strange, new place.
On August 15, 2017, Ozark was renewed for a second season which will debut August 31, 2018. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Because they’re not ad-dependent, Nielsen doesn’t track the viewership of streaming series, like Ozark, so we won’t know how it is doing, unless Netflix decides to publicize its viewership. Variety‘s review was largely positive, while The Hollywood Reporter‘s was less so, but Netflix will mostly consider viewing statistics, when deciding whether to cancel or renew Ozark for season two. In the meantime, I’ll keep an eye on the trades and update this page with any Ozark cancellation or renewal news. Subscribe for free updates.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Ozark TV show was renewed for a second season? How would you feel if Netflix had cancelled this TV series, instead?
Best show since sons of anarchy.
I totally agree – and SOA is STILL #1 on my favorites list!!!
Great show. Loved it. Watched all episodes the same day. I can see where the writers left room for a season 2,. Hope there is a season 2
I just spent all day today watching this show. Stop to workout, do laundry and cook. Love the show. The last episode was awesome. Scared the crap out of me when bullets started flying around. Netflix do not cancel.
As good as Breaking bad ALREADY!…..I’m not even going to beg to renew it because obviously, it will be…THANKS NETFLIX!!
Impatiently waiting for season 2!! Such suspense!! U can not cancel this show!! Love Jason Bateman!! Have to see what he has in store for us!!
Awesome Seeies
Loved it!!!
Loved it!!! And really love that it was filmed right down the street from us. I hope it continues.
Wow a front row seat to one of the best shows in history!! Lucky you!!
Well done series with just enough action and suspense to keep you wanting more.
Hopefully Netflix will keep this one around for some more seasons.
I Really Hope you bring back .. OZARK !! Is one of the Best I’v seen !! My wife and I Love this show !! BIG Mistake if you don’t !! FYI …
Cannot believe Ozark would be left in limbo! Totally a thriller!!!!!
Do not cancel this show it’s so addictive
GREAT SHOW, A REAL WINNER! PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS!
Best writing I’ve seen in a long time. Great cast, hope to see more seasons!
Brilliant and the best show at present on Netflix ! Brilliant cast.. brilliantly written… why question something that is so brilliant ??
Great show…. It was exciting from beginning to the end! Do not cancell this show!!!!
I am sure it will be renewed! Have no fear! With this stellar script and brilliant cast and every post in here singing it’s praises, it’s not even something to bet on. It WILL be renewed (remember, Netflix is still very imperfect, but it’s still WAY smarter than any other network!!! Too bad Showtime, HBO, Stars, and the others let this one fall thru their fingers. It’s being compared to Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad – arguably the two best shows ever produced for TV!) They’ll renew it – do not worry!!!
