Katrina Lenk is another fresh face to join season 4 of Ozark as she joins the world of the Byrde family and their money-laundering operations. Created by Bill Dubuque and Mark Williams for Netflix, Ozark had a brief hiatus but is finally back with its last ever instalment.
There were only seven episodes added to part 1 of Ozark. Yes, that’s right, Netflix split it into two parts making the wait for part 2 quite frankly agonising. However, there has been so much to digest, it’s probably better we have some time to take in the recent happenings. This will also give us a chance to meet some of the new faces who have joined the cast in the final season of the hit show.
Part 1 of season 4 landed on Netflix on Friday, 21 January 2022, reuniting us with familiar faces but let’s find out more about some of the new ones. Read on to discover more about Katrina Lenk and how old she is.
