Netflix have yet another new promising TV series on the way with Oscar nominated Laura Linney and Arrested Development's Jason Bateman leading the cast. The ten-episode drama, which will be called Ozark, comes from Bateman's production company Aggregate Films, while he will also be on board as an executive producer.
Ozark will mark Laura’s first foray in television since she starred in and produced the Showtime series The Big C for which she won an Emmy & Golden Globe Award.
Cindy Holland, Netflix Vice President of Original Content; "Laura is such a brilliant talent, and we have been such admirers of her work, that we are elated to have her working in this compelling world that Jason Bateman, Bill Dubuque and Chris Mundy (showrunner) are bringing to life."
Netflix has described the show as; "Grounded in dark reality, this money-centric present day story revolves around financial planner Marty (Jason Bateman) and Wendy Bird (Laura Linney) and their family's sudden relocation from the suburbs of Chicago to a summer resort community in the Missouri Ozarks. Rather than the familiar skyscrapers and trading floors, Ozark explores capitalism, family dynamics, and survival through the eyes of (anything but) ordinary Americans."
The series will premiere worldwide on Netflix in 2017.
