“And away we go.”

If you ask us, the busy, bloody finale should only bolster those claims.

“Today is a beginning,” Navarro declares as he hugs his new power couple.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: That was quite the scene to end a season on!

Why did that feel like the perfect final moment?

For you, if we’re in Navarro’s mindset, why Wendy and Marty over Helen?

As good as Helen is, there’s other lawyers in the world.

But Wendy and Marty have now pulled off two impossibilities for him.

The show played the slow burn with Navarro, finally bringing him fully into the fold in season 3.

What made this the time to add him to the mix in more than just name?

Every year we like to think that our world just keeps getting bigger but hopefully naturally so.

We want the world to grow in the same way that our characters are growing.

What will this blood partnership mean moving forward?

To us, it’s that.

Laura Linney really continues to rise to new levels with her performance.

So some of it is just recognizing good fortune.

And we talk about that a lot in the writers' room.

Are Marty and Wendy somehow even closer than ever now?

I think in some ways.

What did you want to explore with Ruth this season?

And why did you like the idea of splitting her from the Byrdes by season’s end?

But there’s a real allure there for Ruth and there’s a real emotion in the Marty relationship.

Darlene looks so happy watching Wyatt and Ruth standing together in her field.

What is her motivation here?

Is this her finding the family she’s been looking for?

Everything is about legacy with her.

In that moment, it’s satisfaction that she was right all along.

Between Wendy, Helen, Darlene, and Ruth, it was quite a season for the women ofOzark.

Even in season 2 I felt like all our female characters ran the show in a lot of ways.

She’s so strong, and we love that strength.

So if you follow that character, then you’re just going to keep growing and growing.

And Wendy’s growth we talked about.

So some of it is just pretty natural.

While he show hasn’t officially been renewed, a fourth season seems extremely likely.
