OZARK fans brace yourself, after a two-year wait, the season four launch date has been announced.
As Laura Linney says in the trailer: “Sometimes, If you don’t move forward, you die,” and fans are not sure if they want the new season to move forward as it means the end of the hit show.
In a tense and ominous new trailer, we learn that season four will be delivered in two parts, with part one landing on Friday 21 January 2022.
Consisting of seven episodes in part one, the trailer does nothing to calm fans' nerves as we hear Ruth Langmore (Julia Garner) says: “Why do I have this feeling we both know that you’d be better off dead?.”
The trailer on Netflix’s Youtube channel that landed on Tuesday 19 October, currently has well over 176,900 views, with fans gagging for the show’s return and not wanting it to end.
One fan said: "Omg, I've been waiting for this. I'm so ready to binge it in one day."
Where another commented: “Let’s goooooooo!! Finally, one of my all time fav series... sad it’s the final season though...”
In a previous trailer released in September, we see Wendy and Martin ‘Marty’ Byrde (Laura Linney and Jason Bateman) looking a bloody mess.
The most recent trailer has an eerie calmness that leaves you wanting me, and having at least one spot of blood would help you guess the next part of the story. Well played, Netflix.
With the show ending after four series, Jason said back in June 2020: “A super-sized season means super-sized problems for the Byrdes.”
For those who are yet to watch the show or who are furiously trying to binge-watch it ahead of the new season, The Ozarks first premiered in 2017 and follows a middle-class family who gets mixed up with some big-time criminals.
Money laundering, extortion, and crime, to name just a few of the family's challenges, all take place in the picturesque, mountainous range of the Ozarks.
Spanning several states, the Ozarks is the perfect backdrop to this black comedy where it's believable that no one will come looking if you go missing.
A local to the Ozarks thought they should get special treatment once they realised the show would be landing next year and not this year.
Commenting on a Twitter post by Netflix which featured the trailer, they said: “Nooo..!!! Thought it was gonna be November 2021. Tell ya what, how bout you just release the season now to those of us who actually live in the Ozarks? We won’t tell anyone. We promise.”
Understanding that it's better to go out with a bang instead of dragging it on, one fan said: "One of the best shows I've ever watched! Sad to see it coming to an end, but also don't want it to drag on forever. Just don't go season 8 GoT on us lol.”
Clearly not a fan of how Game of Thrones ended, let’s hope they will enjoy this two-part 14-episode final season.
