In Netflix’sOzark, Garner plays Ruth Langmore, a former scammer who works with Marty (Bateman) and Wendy Byrde (Linney). When the series finale aired in April, Ruth ended up dead at the hand of Camila Elizondro (Veronica Falcón).

Manyfans couldn’t believe Ruth’s demise, but Garner saw her character’s fate coming.

I woke up from meditation. [Then] Chris Mundy, our showrunner, said ‘I need to talk to you.’ I said, ‘Am I going to die?’ And he’s like ‘Yeah, you are.’ He said, ‘Who told you?’ "
