<Li> Joseph Melendez as Garcia, an enforcer for Del and watchdog of the Byrdes . </Li> <Li> Michael Tourek as Ash, an enforcer for the Snells . </Li> <P> The show is set at a modest waterfront resort at Lake of the Ozarks, inspired by the Alhonna Resort and Marina where series creator Dubuque worked as a dock hand while attending school in Missouri during the 1980s . Most of the shooting locations are in the Atlanta area at Lake Allatoona and Lake Lanier, rather than at the Lake of the Ozarks, because of tax breaks offered by the State of Georgia . The film crew constructed a set in Georgia after extensively studying the Alhonna Resort property . Some scenes are filmed at Chicago locations . Only a few scenes from the pilot were shot in the actual city of Lake Ozark, Missouri, which include shots of the locally famous "Welcome To Lake Of the Ozarks" sign and the "Injun Joe Muffler Man" statue . The series was renewed for a 10 - episode second season on August 15, 2017 . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> No . </Th> <Th> Title </Th> <Th> Directed by </Th> <Th> Written by </Th> <Th> Original release date </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> "Sugarwood" </Td> <Td> Jason Bateman </Td> <Td> Story by: Bill Dubuque & Mark Williams Teleplay by: Bill Dubuque </Td> <Td> July 21, 2017 (2017 - 07 - 21) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="5"> After his business partner cheats a dangerous client, financial adviser Marty must devise a radical plan to save his and his family's lives . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> "Blue Cat" </Td> <Td> Jason Bateman </Td> <Td> Story by: Bill Dubuque & Mark Williams Teleplay by: Bill Dubuque </Td> <Td> July 21, 2017 (2017 - 07 - 21) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="5"> In the Ozarks, Marty struggles to find a local business he can use for money laundering, while his kids make new friends but neglect a crucial duty . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> "My Dripping Sleep" </Td> <Td> Daniel Sackheim </Td> <Td> Ryan Farley </Td> <Td> July 21, 2017 (2017 - 07 - 21) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="5"> Marty finds a way to control Ruth .
