Bateman spoke with Deadline on what viewers can expect for “Ozark” season two, which he calls a sequel “as opposed to a second season.” “We’re approaching [Ozark] as a 10-chapter movie… the second year is not a completely new story, but it is another single beginning, middle, and end.” He also had heaps of praise for the streaming platform. “It’s fantastic from a creative standpoint in that you can make assumptions that people are going to be biting off big chunks of this. From a writing standpoint, you don’t feel the same obligation to reestablish things.”

Joining stars Linney, Jason Bateman, and Julia Garner this season is veteran actor Janet McTeer. McTeer was recently seen on another Netflix show, Marvel’s “Jessica Jones,” and will be playing a “Chicago-based attorney with links to the cartel” who’s “a potential threat to the Byrdes.”
