Ozark was one of the best performing Netflix Originals on its premiere day. The third season of
Ozark started with a meagre one million viewers on day one. In the ten days that follow, the series was watched by 16.4 million viewers, which is an improvement over the second season. Season two only had 11 million viewers in its first ten days. This means that
Ozark has probably profited from the coronacrisis. Netflix has revealed that the series, which stars Jason Bateman, Laura Linney and Julia Garner, has been watched by 29 million people in the first four weeks after the premiere on the 27th of March. This means that
Ozark has approximately the same amount of viewers as
The Crown. Just to compare things,
The Witcher had 76 million viewers in the first four weeks.
Ozark follows the story of the Byrdes family from Chicago. At first glance, Marty and Wendy seem to lead a standard life with their two children. Marty is a financial advisor but also leads the money laundering department of one of the largest Mexican drug cartels. If something goes wrong, the family is forced to leave Chicago and go into hiding in the Missouri
Ozarks region.
