Netflix series Ozark continues to prove popular among fans. The series, which has been compared to the likes of Breaking Bad, sees a middle-class family from Chicago working for a Mexican drug cartel after a business deal goes south. Ozark features plenty of death and violence amid the gritty drama with some unsavoury characters, including assassin Nelson (played by Nelson Bonilla).

Nelson has notched up quite a few names on hit list during his time working as the Navarro Cartel’s resident executioner.
While he may be a man of few words, when it comes to cleaning up for mob boss Felix Navarro (Omar Solis), Nelson gets the job done quickly and efficiently.
Over the past couple of seasons, Nelson has been doing away with more prominent characters including Cade Langmore (Trevor Long), Ben Davis (Tom Pelphrey), Sue Shelby (Marylouise Burke) and Helen Pierce (Janet McTeer).
However, it looks like Nelson’s time could nearly be up as the body count starts to mount with the FBI sniffing around.

In an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, American actor Bonilla shed further light on his cold-blooded alter ego.
The actor, who has also had roles in The Haunting of Hill House and Sacrifice, said: “No one is ever truly safe.
“Death can be around the corner for anyone. It is simply a matter of timing and opportunity.
“I guess you can throw some luck into it as well. I just hope it is epic.”
While all of this is speculation, the dangerous world of Ozark means anyone could meet the reaper and it’s only chance keeping them alive.
Bonilla went on to reflect about how his character may have initially got caught up in the cartel.
He explained: “I have always imagined Omar Navarro courting or recruiting Nelson at a young age.
“Maybe right out of the service where Nelson acquired his skillset for killing.”

The star continued: “There is also a version where Nelson was always Omar’s best and most efficient killer.
“Groomed from an early age through reckless training and conditioning.
“Brainwashing him in a sense of endless and limitless fidelity.”
Nelson’s loyalty to the cartel appears to come above all else and it looks like for now the organisation will be protecting him.

The hitman is only likely to be killed off if he betrays Navarro in some way but at this stage, it seems unlikely.
Nevertheless, there are other characters who could come after him such as Ruth Langmore (Julia Garner), Erin Pierce (Madison Thompson) and Jonah Byrde (Skylar Gaertner).
So, Nelson will be watching his back from now on, knowing he’s increasingly becoming a target with each job he completes.
Nelson is a highly proficient killer, so even if someone did come after him, he’d give a good fight.
Sadly, Netflix has yet to confirm season four but as the show dropped a couple of months ago, it might be a while yet before viewers get any news.
