If you really thought Netflix was going to let the Bluth family go off into the sunset, you thought wrong. Another report suggests that Netflix is planning on more Arrested Development and this time the source is Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos.
Reuters reports that while speaking at TheWrap’s “The Grill” conference Tuesday, Sarandos said that there is “no question” that Arrested Development will return. “It is just a matter of when and what form it takes,” he said.
But, of course scheduling is the main hurdle to overcome. Arrested Development features an A-list cast and many of them have other commitments. That’s why only one character was the focus of each season four episode.
“It's still speculative,” Sarandos stressed.
Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard about more Arrested Development beyond the Emmy-nominated fourth season revival. While there were early reports that this was it, star Jason Bateman and creator Mitch Hurwitz both said in May that we could see more Bluth family misadventures. In July, Imagine’s Brian Grazer confirmed that they are talking with Netflix about more episodes.
Arrested Development aired for three seasons on Fox before it was cancelled. Netflix then agreed to revive the cult series and, while it didn’t earn rave reviews, it was still nice to see the Bluth family back together. Bateman, Tony Hale, Will Arnett, Michael Cera, Jessica Walter and Jeffrey Tambor are among the castmembers.
