Herrara will play Javi Elizonndro, a member of the Navarro family who walks a fine line between playing the obedient lieutenant and scheming to take over his uncle’s cartel. Rothenberg joins the cast as Mel Sattem, a cop who fell from grace and now works as a P.I. He enjoys the chase and won’t rest until he unravels the truth.
Bichir will play Navarro’s priest, who serves as the cartel leader’s confessor and confident. He works for the cartel because he deeply believes he belongs where God is needed most. Castillo joins the cast as Sheriff Leigh Guerrero, a Missouri law enforcement officer who refuses to play on anyone’s terms but her own.

As previously announced, Season 4 will be released in two parts consisting of seven episodes each. Production will begin this year, withChris Mundyreturning as showrunner, writer and executive producer.Mark Williams,John Shiban,Patrick MarkeyandBill Dubuquewill also serve as executive producers alongside Bateman, while Linney will serve as co-executive producer on Season 4.
SinceOzarkfirst premiered on Netflix in 2017, the series has garnered 32 Emmy nominations, giving two statues to Garner for her fiery supporting turn as Ruth Langmore, and one to Bateman for his cool, confident direction. I’m going to missTom PelphreyandJanet McTeerthis season, but it’ll be nice to spend more time with Navarro and his family, if only to see the drug trade from the other side of the border. Speaking of which, Netflix’s other drug drama,Narcos: Mexico, just revealed its cast and characters for Season 3, soclick herefor more info in case you missed that news last week.
