Jonah Byrde’s age in Ozark season 4 explained

**Warning – Spoilers ahead**

Despite the final season of Ozark being split into two parts, fans are plowing through the first seven episodes of season 4 and are subsequently preparing for the long wait ahead for part two.

Amidst the talk of death and betrayal during part one of season 4, we take a step back to talk about how old Jonah Byrde is during the events of part one and reveal if actor, Skylar Gaertner, is the same age.

Created by Chris Mundy, Bill Dubuque, and Mark Williams, Ozark stars Jason Bateman, Laura Linney, Sofia Hublitz, Julia Garner, and more, following financial advisor, Martin ‘Marty’ Byrde, who gets involved in a money-laundering operation connected to the Mexican drug cartel, and later, the Kansas City Mafia.

Jonah Byrde’s age in Ozark season 4

Jonah Bryde is 14 years old during the events of Ozark season 4.

Without giving too much away regarding Jonah’s fate in season 4, we do know from teaser trailers that he is entering into the money-laundering business.

We know that Jonah will be laundering money for Ruth and Marty is proud of Jonah for stepping up, so that the business can continue to run should anything happen to Marty and Wendy.

Additionally, Helen also revealed to Jonah that his mother was the real person behind Ben’s death last season, which will also be a major plot point in season 4.

Skylar Gaertner’s age

No, actor Skylar Gaertner is currently 18 years old.

Born in 2004, Gaertner is playing a character who is four years younger than his real-life age and has a number of credits to his professional name prior to his role in Ozark.

Marvel fans may remember Gaertner playing a young Matthew Murdock in the hit Netflix series, Daredevil, and he has also appeared in an episode of CSI and Nurse Jackie, in addition to a role in the film, The Ticket.

Ozark season 4 part two release window

Netflix has not announced an official release date for part two just yet, which will no doubt leave fans at a bit of a loose end after binging the first seven episodes.

It is predicted, however, that part two will arrive on the streaming platform before the end of 2022, when a further seven episodes will be released to end the series.

In an interview with The Wrap, showrunner Chris Mundy explained how Netflix offered a solution to combat Mundy’s dilemma over letting the narrative run on for too long or cutting it too short:

“Then Netflix hit upon the idea of saying, ‘We’ll end with season 4 but we’ll make it long. We’ll split it in this way,’ and that felt perfect. It was a way we could make these seven episodes feel complete and make the second seven feel complete, even though it’s all one continuum.”
