We now know when Arrested Development's new season will arrive (and how it'll be)
Movies And TV


Arrested Development is possibly one of the most-loved comedy shows in existence - being rated extremely highly even after it was cancelled.

After being knocked from Fox's schedule in 2006 after three seasons of poor ratings, the show made TIME Magazine's list of Top 100 TV Shows a year later.

The series returned for a fourth run as the first Netflix (semi-) original comedy in 2013, and rumours were rife for months that a possible fifth season could be made. It was confirmed two years ago that it would be back - but there were no indications of when that would be.


Although Season 4 starred all original characters and actors, including Jason Bateman as Michael Bluth, Michael Cera as George Michael, and Jessica Walter as Lucille, the season was criticised for not being as dynamic as its predecessors.

Part of the issue, fans believe, was because most actors' scenes were filmed individually and there was much less character interaction.

We now know more about when Season 5 will arrive, and how it'll be.

The tweet uploaded by the official Arrested Development profile shows that we've only a year to wait...

Granted, a year is a long time; but not when you've been waiting since 2015 for a definitive release date. It's better than not knowing anything - and it does give a hint about what kind of show it'll be.


Some people believe that the wording hints to a more normal format like Season 1-3, and less of the individual story-telling that took place in Season 4.

Here's hoping the whole family is reunited for the 17 new episodes - or it'll be a huge mistake.
