The 51-year-old said,

"Well, I know that they’re talking about it, and Richard Price is playing with some ideas and taking some first steps as to what that second year might and feel like. Obviously, it’s a complete free-ball because the first season exhausted 100% of [Stephen King’s] book, the IP."

The Arrested Development star added,

"So, it’s really all up to him. I never like to step on the lawn of the writers. It’s something that I’ve always stuck with on Ozark." 

Bateman continued, "I leave Chris Mundy completely alone, and I do my job as a director once I get the script. I chime in every once in a while and offer my opinion, but it’s always for the writer to take if they want and discard if they want."

Fans certainly loved the first season, and it goes without saying, they’re quite eager for the second season to commence. In fact, nobody would say ‘no’ to the opportunity to witness Ben Mendelsohn and Cynthia Erivo sharing the screen once more. Ralph Anderson and Holly Gibney deserve to rise again!
