Arrested Development "Definitely" Returning

Arrested Development will “definitely” be returning, according to series creator Mitch Hurwitz.

Chortle reports that when asked at the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal if the show had a future, he responded by saying simply, “Definitely”.

While that’s good news in and of itself, Hurwitz went on to explain he was still undecided whether he’d prefer to see the Bluths return in a movie or another season of the cult show, though he was adamant that the cast should be reunited as a whole rather than shot separately.

“I keep thinking about it, and why don’t we do the movie version of this and then do the series, because this series kinda peaks with the story?” he said.

Netflix Confirms Date for "Arrested Development" Release

By Evan Niu, CFA, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

Online video streamer Netflix (NAS: NFLX) has now confirmed the official date for the return of cult favorite “Arrested Development.” The company is releasing all 15 episodes of the fourth season simultaneously on May 26. The show will be available in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Latin America, Brazil, and the Nordics.

Netflix said in 2011 that it would bring “Arrested Development” back as an exclusive series. The company has seen successful with original programming, particularly its “House of Cards” series that was released in February. At a Morgan Stanley tech conference in February, CEO Reed Hastings said it was unlikely that additional seasons would be possible.

In a statement, series creator Mitch Hurwitz added, “Finally my simple wish for the show is coming true: that it be broadcast every second around the clock to every television, computer or mobile device in existence.” Welcome back, Bluths.

Arrested Development Returns in May!

The TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour can feel like a pretty stuffy event sometimes, but you could feel the excitement in the air as the time approached for the Arrested Development panel today. The beloved comedy is making an amazing comeback, via new episodes – 14 to be precise, a number confirmed by Netflix today as they officially announced the show would debut in May (exact date TBA), with all the episodes being released at once.

There were a few quick glimpses of Arrested in a clip montage of upcoming Netflix series earlier in the day, including Michael and Gob running into one another and Gob up on a crucifix. The panel itself began without any clips though, as creator Mitch Hurwitz revealed, “One of the challenges of the show was to be surprising and that was easier to do when no one was watching.” With Arrested having gained more fans in the years since it went off the air, “We’ve started really guarding the material, just to make it fun for the audience.”

More Episodes of Arrested Development Ordered

Season 4 of Arrested Development will consist of more episodes than originally planned thanks to Netflix ordering more instalments of the cult comedy.

Hurwitz supposedly shot more material than planned when filming the original 10 episodes, and came up with ideals for additional scenes and storylines in case such a scenario arose. With filming having wrapped after Thanksgiving however, the actors are now mostly tied up with other projects. As a result, production has been paused so Hurwitz can take stock of what footage he already has and figure out the best way to seamlessly integrate new arcs into the existing episodes.
