Chris Mundy and Showrunner Elise Henderson Hint at Expanding the Ozark Universe With a Spin-Off: “I Would Call It a World-Building Show”

Ozark came back with its final episodes to finally close the Byrdes chapter. The
final episodes saw the return of 2 supporting actors, a new entrance, and four
shocking deaths. The creators upended fans’ expectations when they killed Julia
Garner’s character, Ruth, and let the Byrdes off the hook. The ending didn’t sit
well with a lot of the fans, who criticized the ending. But in spite of the
criticism, it does seem that there’s a possibility for an Ozark spin-off. 


CHRIS MUNDY IS OPEN TO AN OZARK SPIN-OFF

Showrunner Chris Mundy has already given it a thought. But he wants the process
it is organic. “If there were an organic way, I would never be closed to it,” he
said
[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/ozark-jason-bateman-laura-linney-finale-1235134502/].
If he chooses to expand the show’s universe, he has the support of showrunner
Elise Henderson. Elise is the president of MRC studios which produced the gritty
crime drama, The Shining Girls and The Great. 

“I think it’s going to be one of those shows that will live in the canon of
great TV from start to finish. And I think that one of the coolest things about
Ozark [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ozark/] is that I would call it a
world-building show. I think we built a world. There’s a universe that’s been
created.”

Mark Williams thinks they can create an Ozark spin-off focusing on the
fascinating Ruth Langmore. 

“But I’d be thrilled for that to happen, obviously Ruth has been such a great
character throughout, but I think it’s got to be right for it.“I think what we
don’t want to do is just put out another version just to have. I think Better
Call Saul is the perfect fit, obviously, they did it so well on top of Breaking
Bad, so I think it only makes sense if it works,” he explained

But ultimately it’s Mundy and Netflix’s
