The fourth season of Arrested Development might not have turned out as perfect as some fans were expecting, but it was a big enough success for Netflix to consider talking with Imagine Entertainment about doing another season.
In an interview with Bloomberg Television, Imagine co-chairman Brian Grazer confirmed, “We are in conversations with them to do another.”
Grazer, who actually made an appearance in season four, made the comments at the Allen & Co. conference in Idaho. He added, “They are interested in doing that.”
Netflix didn’t comment on Grazer’s statements, but CEO Reed Hastings has stressed that original content will be a major part of the company’s success moving forward. He’s already renewed Orange is the New Black, Hemlock Grove and House of Cards for second seasons.
About Arrested Development’s future, The Huffington Post notes that Hastings did recently say in a CNBC interview that “If the talent were willing to do more and interested in that, I’m sure we would be willing.”
Creator Mitch Hurwitz has also said that there’s a possibility that the misadventures of the Bluth family could continue. Star Jason Bateman has also said that he’s open to more.
Arrested Development’s 15 season four episodes were posted on May 26. You can check out our season reviews here and here.
