Jason Bateman who plays Marty Byrde is also hoping that a fourth season will eventually happen. He said,
“I know [showrunner Chris Mundy] and his team are hard at work figuring out what that fourth season would be if that official pick-up lands.”
Furthermore, showrunner Chris Mundy also talked about Ozark to run for five to seven seasons. According to him,
“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. We’re building little things in, if we keep on track for the emotional ending we’re guessing we’ll have.”
What to expect from Ozark season 4 plot
Ozark season 3 consisted of 10 episodes filled with thrilling twists. Season 3 revealed Ruth lost her loyalty to the Byrdes and sided with Darlene at the Snell poppy farm. Ozark season 4 will unveil Ruth’s inner power to decide for herself, and there’s a lot for Ruth to prove herself to the Byrde that she is not as weak as they think.
Season 4 plot might also look at Wendy who let his brother Ben die in the hands of Helen’s hitman. Although Wendy was seen as a strong and cold-hearted woman, she might regret her decisions in the future.

Hence, showrunner Mundy explained that Byrde’s decision will impact their family’s survival. Mundy said,
