OFFICIAL: Great news because Season 5 of Arrested Development is happening on Netflix

Paul Moore

I’m afraid I just blue myself.

Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything, And the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together, It’s Arrested Development.

Yes, after the news that Jason Bateman has signed on for a new season, we’re delighted to say that the entire cast will be returning to the model home.

Truth be told, we’re absolutely ecstatic to know that dialogue of this magnificence will be making a return.

Tobias: Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over— an analyst and a therapist. The world’s first analrapist.

Lindsay: Yes, and you were almost arrested for those business cards.

As reported by Deadline, the entire cast and creators of the superb Emmy-winning series will be returning, including Bateman, Michael Cera, Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walter, Will Arnett, Tony Hale, Portia de Rossi, David Cross and Alia Shawkat and creator/executive producer Mitch Hurwitz.

Still no word if Franklin will be coming back though. Mr F!

Speaking about the news, Hurwitz said: “In talks with Netflix we all felt that that stories about a narcissistic, erratically behaving family in the building business — and their desperate abuses of power — are really underrepresented on TV these days,” said Hurwitz. “I am so grateful to them and to 20th TV for making this dream of mine come true in bringing the Bluths, George Sr., Lucille and the kids; Michael, Ivanka, Don Jr., Eric, George-Michael, and who am I forgetting, oh Tiffany. Did I say Tiffany? — back to the glorious stream of life.”

Season 5 of Arrested Development is expected to air in 2018. We can’t wait.
