when did season 4 of arrested development come out
Arrested Development (season 4) The fourth season of the television comedy series Arrested Development premiered on Netflix on May 26, 2013 and consists of 15 episodes.[1][2] This season serves as a revival to the series after it was canceled by Fox in 2006.
Arrested Development (TV series) Six years after the series had been canceled by Fox, filming for a revived fourth season began on August 7, 2012.[26] Fifteen episodes of the show's revival season were released simultaneously on Netflix on May 26, 2013.[8] The first eight episodes of the fifth season were released on Netflix on May 29, 2018, with the remaining eight episodes to be released later in 2018.[27]
Arrested Development (season 4) The show format is different compared to previous seasons: each of the fifteen episodes focuses on one individual character—with every episode happening at the same time within the show's universe—showing the character's activities since the conclusion of the third season.[11] According to Jason Bateman, "If I'm driving down the street in my episode and Gob's going down the sidewalk on his Segway, you could stop my episode, go into his episode, and follow him and see where he's going".[12] Part of the reason for this format was the challenge with getting the cast together to shoot on the same dates. "We shot for Netflix and of course everybody was busy, so everybody had a different shooting schedule. I did scenes with light stands with an X in tape put on them. I would have a conversation with Jeffrey Tambor, then I would turn to my right and have a conversation with Jessica Walters, but both of them were light stands instead," said Henry Winkler in a November 2017 interview with Uproxx.[13]
