Where was Ozark filmed?

At the start of Ozark, this shocking scene sets the tone for the grisly murders for viewers. In this scene, Marty Byrde stomps towards the Chicago office building of his wife Wendy's lover, Gary Silverberg, to confront him. As he's walking towards the building, he suddenly sees Gary's body hit the pavement with a smacking 'splat' sound. Gary was thrown off from one of the top floors, and his body fell right in front of Marty.

Marty is shocked, confused, and dazed. He glances around as people around him look at the body and quickly walks towards his car. As Marty is in the car, his phone rings. When he answers, it's mobster Del Rio (Esai Morales) calling from Wendy's phone, asking Marty, "Why does Wendy have a cashier's cheque for $29,650, Marty? You lied to me, Marty. She knows about our business." He offers to kill Wendy and solve the issue of her knowledge about the money laundering business. Marty smartly plays it right and buys him and Wendy some time.

This pivotal scene was shot at East Lake Street and North Garland Court in Downtown Chicago. Visitors can get to this iconic crossing by hopping on to the Orange Line in Chicago, getting off at State/Lake, and walking for 2 minutes to the intersection. While you may not get access to the building, you can stop off to have a hot dog at the vendor on the street and click some fantastic photos.

Still in season 1, when Ruth Langmore realizes her Uncle Russ has turned informant for the FBI, it is evident to all viewers that it is time for Russ to die. However, no one expected Ruth to do the deed herself! When her uncles, Russ and Boyd, decide to loot Marty's stash of cash and steer their little dinghy to the Byrde house, they are brutally electrocuted. Ruth rigs the water around the dock by electrically charging it. Russ and Boyd's deaths (while gruesome) set the tone for the fall of the Langmore family, who keep feeling it was Marty's fault.

In this scene, once Boyd and Russ reach the dock, Boyd tucks a gun into his denim pants while Russ reaches for the shore. As soon as he touches the metallic handrail, he gets electrocuted with Boyd screaming, "Russ! Russ!" Boyd touches Russ, and the current passes on to him as they both die a slow, agonizing death. The electricity starts fluctuating with street lights blowing out, lights flickering in the Byrde residence, and Marty proclaiming, "It's probably the transformer," not realizing that there have been two deaths just outside his house.

To get to the dock and the Byrde residence, visitors must drive via the I-85 to Lanier Islands Parkway. Once there, you can take Ferry Road to the dock. However, this is a private residence, so you may not be allowed on the property and may need to gain permission.

This utterly horrific scene is part of the season finale of season 1, with Del Rio thinking Marty is responsible for the disappearance of one of Del's men. Del invites Marty to his house to 'talk' and starts asking him where his man is and how to find him. Marty tells him that he has no clue, but Del doesn't seem to believe Marty.

Del keeps asking Marty, "Where is he, Marty?" and Marty keeps replying, "I told you, I don't know." Then, in a twist of borderline madness, Del turns to his giant, burly henchman and nods towards Marty. The big man starts walking toward Marty with a pair of pliers in his hands. Marty starts stressing, "Hang on! I do not know where he is. I do not know where he is!" While he's still telling Del that he has no idea where the man is, Del's henchman pulls out Marty's toenail. While this is excruciatingly painful, and the toe is all bloody, Marty still calms down and tries to reason with Del – even through his pain!

This gory scene is shot at Chateau Elan, a gorgeous winery, and hotel in North Georgia. Chateau Elan is the East Coast's most famous winery that prides itself on its fantastic golf course and exclusive collection of wines. Visitors can easily get to Chateau Elan, an hour's drive from Atlanta City, via the I-85N. You could also book a trip to the Chateau and stay for some wine tasting and a round of golf.

As another gruesome scene unfolds in Ozark, the finale episode of season 3 has the unexpected death of poor Helen (who outlives her usefulness). Marty and Wendy Byrde reach the Spanish Mansion of cartel boss Omar Navarro (Felix Solis) with lawyer Helen Pierce (Janet McTeer) in this scene.

As the trio exits the car, Navarro walks out to greet them in a relaxed, casual manner. He greets them, saying, "Welcome. Thank you for coming. I hope you had a pleasant journey." As they catch up and smile at Navarro, an unseen henchman blows Helen's brains out with a gun, and the residual blood and brain bits splatter all over Marty and Wendy.

They're shocked, stunned, and flabbergasted, staring at Helen's dead body as it falls to the ground with a sick thudding sound. Navarro embraces Marty and Wendy while saying, "Today… Well, today is our beginning," as he smiles at them.

This horrifying scene is shot in one of the most serene places in Atlanta – the Westview Abbey and Cemetery. The chapel, built-in 1943, has intricate and ornate stained-glass windows that depict the nativity, crucifixion, and resurrection of Christ. To get there, hop onto bus number 58 on the blue line, get off at the Ralph D Abernathy Blvd and W Lake Ave SW stop, and walk into the Westview Cemetery. However, you will have to drive or walk the remaining distance once you're in.

In this season 4 scene, Sheriff Nix (Robert Treveiler) goes to Helen Pierce's house to search for her and instead finds Javi Elizonndro (Alfonso Herrera), the nephew of mob boss Navarro living there. After Javi opens the door, he hones in on Sheriff Nix's badge and says, "You're the sheriff. Like, THE sheriff." He smiles and excuses himself to turn the volume down but turns it up instead. Before audiences know what's happening, Javi takes out a gun and shoots Sheriff Nix in the head and chest – right on Helen's front door. Ironic, isn't it?

Javi then bundles the sheriff's dead body in the patrol car and drives to the Byrde residence. He gets Wendy and Marty out and says, "I solved your problem. Come, have a look." Speechless, the Byrdes are looking over at the sheriff's corpse when Javi says, "You have a crematorium, right?"

This ghastly scene is shot at a private residence at Woodlake Dr, off Buford Dam Rd. While many visitors like to visit Ozark locations, private homes are usually closed to the public. You can click photographs from the street but must be respectful of the owner's privacy. You can visit spots around, like the Japanese restaurant for a bite and the pizza parlor nearby.

After getting together in the third season, Darlene Snell (Lisa Emery) and Wyatt Langmore (Charlie Tahan) were among the oddest couples in Ozark. Considering how many people Darlene killed off in the first part of season 4, her death wasn't exactly shocking. Wyatt and Darlene are on the couch in the Snell House, with baby Zeke in the background. They got married in the earlier seasons so Darlene could legally adopt Zeke.

It was a surprise for Ozark fans when trigger-happy Javi Elizonndro (who also killed off Sheriff Nix in episode 1) shoots Darlene square in the chest while she's uttering a not-so-sincere apology.

Wyatt Langmore is still shocked at his wife's dead body when Javi turns the gun on Wyatt and says, "Sorry. Whoever you are," and shoots him in the head with baby Zeke howling in the background. Javi simply leaves the crying baby and the rotting corpses for Ruth to find and walks away.

To get to the Snell House, a private residence at 777 Rivendell Lane, you will have to drive southwest on GA-372, turn right on Liberty Grove Rd, continue straight from the traffic circle, and turn slightly left onto Rivendell Ln. The Snell House should be on the right. However, as this is a private residence, you need to be mindful of the owner's privacy and take permission before clicking photographs.
