Today at the New Yorker Festival, the entire cast of Arrested Development gathered for the first time since the show wrapped in 2005 and the big news was:

If all goes according to plan, the series will return to television in a nine- or ten-episode limited-run television series, set to film next summer, with each episode focussing on a single member of the Bluth clan. And series creator Mitchell Hurwitz said that he is halfway through the screenplay for a reunion film and is "eighty per cent" sure it will happen.

Well it is The New Yorker festival. It's mascot, Eustace Tilley, is the original monocle and top hat wearing caricature.

Gonna be weird with George Michael all grown up.

same, feel like it will be underwhelming and can really only disappoint compared to the orginal run

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #14 on:** October 03, 2011, 11:10:39 AM »

Expectations will be unrealistic and impossible to meet. Critics will try to get in on the edgy ground floor bash a thon- te show will transform from an under appreciated television show into something that suddenly has to convince a bunch of people that never bothered to watch it in the first place, and studio execs, that it "deserved" another run.

It may suck or it may not suck, either way we don't lose anything but may gain another season of timeless tv comedy.

i think everyone involved is way too aware of their cult status for it not to be a little tainted, but i'll watch every episode and go sit in a movie theater regardless

I wouldnt either- arent even remotely the same shows. If anything its cult status is less than that of firefly, and deadwood wasnt a cult hit or a comedy

AD was a decent show, but I'll never get why it's put up on a pedestal with Firefly and Deadwood.

Because those are completely different pedestals for completely different shows?

Even if it's like Futurama where the new episodes aren't as good as the originals, they're still better than everything else on TV.

so i started this series like a week ago, got to the fourth episode and am just dying each time. i love this type of humor, it's not a bunch of jokes like drum rolls laugh track, it's like just a comedic dialogue.

i love the subtle jokes like the kid putting the monopoly box on a pile of like 5 other monopoly boxes to show the scumbag uncle has scammed him a bunch. if that was any other show it would have been like focused on and milked, but it was just a 2 second shot of it.

and LOL'd "i've made a huge mistake"
"your brother has been stabbed in the back!"

You should watch Archer (if you don't already), Judy Greer basically plays the same character as Archer's mom.

Jessica Walter, you mean. Judy Greer does play the amorous secretary in both shows, though.

Do you have plans for Sunday, May 26th? Cancel them! Netflix has revealed that's the day we're getting new Arrested Development episodes!

Yes, the Bluth family will be back, as the entire new season is released all at once at 12:01am in territories Netflix is available, including the United States, the UK, Latin America, Canada, Brazil and the Nordics. It also turns out we're getting one extra episode, making the new season 15 episodes total. Originally, it was announced that there would be ten new Arrested Developments, but that number expanded to 14 in January, with extra production time added.

I don't like the format though how it's not really a "season" it's just one event and each episode is a different characters view on it.

He keeps calling it Twin Peaks with werewolves. Any show that has compared itself to Twin Peaks has been invariably shitty.
