Netflix ‘plugging away’ on securing another season of ‘Arrested Development

However, Collider recently said that the show is, well, in “arrested development” right now.

More episodes of the Emmy-winning sitcom were confirmed last month, following over a year of speculation about Arrested Development’s future.

“More [episodes] are coming for sure”, he insisted.

Writers are now being drafted by showrunner Mitch Hurwitz who has scheduled the production to begin in January 2016. “We’re going to get everybody on board”. Despite a loyal fanbase, the 20th Century Fox comedy was axed due to low ratings, but viewer interest has remained since the cancellation and the following 15-episode Netflix season. While Netflix is obviously eager to produce another installment of Arrested Development, following the Netflix Original Season 4 in 2013, Sarandos said that the studio has to navigate around each actor’s complex schedule.

These new comments make Grazer’s comments this past spring seem unlikely to come true.

Despite all that, it appears the series will go on as promised, although the episode count is not clear.

“Arrested Development” ran for three seasons from 2003 to 2006 on Fox. As CNNMoney noted, the creation of a writer’s room is “certainly a big step forward”. As series star Jessica Walter revealed to Entertainment Weekly, Buster Bluth would be a prime suspect in the murder case, but no one would know for certain.
