Season 4 will be split into two parts.

The second season of the Netflix series Ozark will debut on the streaming service on August 31.

Netflix may be a little stricter with its renewal policies these days, but Ozark isn’t done laundering money just yet. The Jason Bateman-Laura Linney drama is officially headed back to the Lake with a second season order.

It’s time to pull the Bluth family out of storage. Yes, Arrested Development Season 5 is gearing up at last, as star Jason Bateman shares the first photo of a familiar family apartment, promising an August start to production.

A new Netflix series with a familiar setting will debut in July. The show Ozark stars Jason Bateman - famous for his roles in Arrested Development, Horrible Bosses, and several other movies and television series (even Teen Wolf Too) - and Laura Linney. Ozark is set in the Lake of the Ozarks, and some of the show was actually filmed there.

Jason Bateman was first to sign up for Arrested Development Season 5, and it looks like Michael Bluth’s off-time in the woods got dark. See for yourself, as Bateman goes dramatic in a first trailer for new Netflix money-laundering drama Ozark.
