We’re only one season into this tension-filled Netflix original series, so if you still have time to catch up if you haven’t hit play yet. News is going to start to fly thick and fast about the upcoming second season, so you better make plans for a marathon streaming session if you want to avoid spoilers. But when does Ozark season 2 start? How much time do you have, exactly, to get through the first batch of episodes? We’ll let you know and give you a quick teaser about what’s in store once the streaming service drops the new ones.
Jason Bateman stars as Marty Byrde, a financial planner who uproots his family from their home in Chicago and transplants them into a summer resort community in the Ozarks. But it’s not such a family-friendly move. Marty’s in trouble after a money-laundering scheme in which he was involves goes wrong. He’s in substantial debt to a Mexican drug lord, and the fate of his wife Wendy and their two kids hang in the balance. But can the fractured family even reconnect at this point? You’ll have to go back and watch the first season to find out.
And the clock is ticking because the trailer for Ozark season 2 is already out, and it’s clear the streaming service has big things in store. “The audience deserves an escalation,” Bateman said during a panel at the Television Critics Association’s press tour. He says season 2 delivers.
