Ozark’s final season will be giving credit to its very own Laura Linney for directing her first episode of the series. Linney got behind the camera for the first time and made her directorial debut with the season’s 11th episode, according to Deadline.

Created for Netflix by Bill Dubuque and Mark Williams, the drama follows financial advisor Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman) and his wife Wendy (Linney), who dragged their kids Charlotte (Sofia Hublitz) and Jonah (Skyler Gaertner) from Chicago to the Missouri Ozarks, where they must launder money to appease a drug boss. Season 4 of the show arrived to Netflix on January 21 with the first part of its two-part fourth and final season.

The 2nd part of the season will wrap up on April 29th and fans can’t wait to see what becomes of the Byrdes, especially after the haunting cliffhanger they were left with. The season showed the Byrdes doing everything they can to disentangle and rid themselves and their family of the Mexican drug cartel, and of course, to stay alive. The cliffhanger also saw the show’s star Ruth Langmore, played by Julia Garner, in a fit of rage after discovering the shocking death of her cousin, Wyatt.
