<Li> Melissa Saint - Amand as Jade, a stripper who forms a bond with Sam (season 2) </Li> <Li> Pedro Lopez as Jorge Mendoza, a member of the Navarro Cartel (season 2) </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 college 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 of the pilot were shot in the city of Lake Ozark, Missouri; these include shots of the locally famous "Welcome To Lake Of the Ozarks" sign and the "Injun Joe Muffler Man" statue . Originally, Jason Bateman was supposed to be the sole director for the first season, but scheduling conflicts prevented it, so he directed only the first two and last two . The series was renewed for a 10 - episode second season on August 15, 2017 . </P> <P> Graphic designer Fred Davis created a white letter' O', which is featured on a black background at the beginning of each episode . Within the quartered circle of the' O' are four symbols which foreshadow the main plot points in that episode . Additionally, each of these hand - drawn symbolic images are formed to represent the remaining letters in "Ozark". For example, for episode one, a kneeling man represents "Z"; a building represents "A"; a gun represents "R"; and a falling man represents "K". </P>
