SPOILER ALERT – Do not continue reading if you don’t want to know what happened!

Tom Pelphrey‘s character Ben, who was the troubled brother of Wendy, was murdered off-screen near the end of the third season. So, is he still alive?

“I love the fact that people love [Ben] enough to come up with that theory,” showrunner Chris Mundy said during a virtual PaleyFest panel (via TVLine). “I wish it were true. But it ain’t true.”

We have some good news and some bad news for the fans of Ozark in regards to the upcoming fourth season of the show.

Ozark has been renewed for a fourth season on Netflix and it will be the show’s final season.

However, there is some good news for fans who are upset that the show is ending. The final season will consist of 14 episodes instead of the usual 10. The final season will be split into two parts containing seven episodes each.

“We’re so happy Netflix recognized the importance of giving ‘Ozark’ more time to end the Byrdes’ saga right,” showrunner Chris Mundy said (via Variety). “It’s been such a great adventure for all of us — both on screen and off — so we’re thrilled to get the chance to bring it home in the most fulfilling way possible.”

The show’s stars Jason Bateman, Laura Linney, Julia Garner, and more are set to return.
