Ozark quickly became a favourite among critics and viewers, with one survey finding that the show was the Netflix's most-watched title during the summer of 2017.
Although no release date for season three has been announced, season one arrived 21st July, 2017, and season two following on 31st August this year, it could be available on Netflix around September 2019.
However, Jason also recently explained that he was taking some time off to spend with his family, so the season could come out later than next summer.

Speaking on the Ellen Show last month he said: "I'm going to do nothing until March of next year, I think.
"And reintroduce myself to my children. The sun does not stop coming up every day and they keep on getting older every day."
At the end of season two the Byrde family struggled to make their latest venture successful in a bid to keep the Mexican cartel off their backs.

Marty and Wendy Byrde (Laura Linney) had launched a brand new casino in a bid to make money for the cartel.
The last scene of season two, saw the family posing for a group photo in front of their new paddle boat casino.
However, while they were at the casino opening, local mobster Frank Cosgrave blew up their offices, which means there could be a lot more friction with the mafia as well as the cartel in season three.
