“Arrested Development” Season 5 on Netflix Announced
“Arrested Development” is coming back. Netflix has officially announced the fifth season of the beloved sitcom, currently set to air worldwide in 2018. The show’s original cast—Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walter, Will Arnett, Tony Hale, Portia de Rossi, David Cross, and Alia Shawkat—are set for Season 5. The series creator, Mitchell Hurwitz, also returns as an executive producer, along with Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Jim Vallely and Richie Rosenstock. In addition, Howard will reprise his role as the “Arrested Development” narrator.
In a press release, Hurwitz said, “In talks with Netflix we all felt 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.” He continued by mentioning the Trump family alongside the Bluths: “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.”
“Arrested Development” originally aired for three seasons on Fox from 2003 to 2006. In 2013, Netflix revived the series for a fourth season.
