Yes, there will be more Arrested Development, thanks to Netflix
Variety reports that a fourth season of critically acclaimed, much beloved, cult comedy Arrested Development will arrive soon, most likely in 2013, on Netflix. Though the article says only that all parties are "close" to a deal, one of the publication's editors confirmed to us on Twitter that the deal is done. (Presumably, the article is being edited to reflect that fact.) Not included in the announcement is any news about whether the entire cast (including Will Arnett, currently on Up All Night) will be reassembled, but presumably that's something everybody can work out in time, nor was there confirmation of how many episodes the season will be. Series creator Mitch Hurwitz said earlier that he wanted to do 10 episodes, so we'll stick with that assumption for now. The series left the air in 2006 originally, and this will be the longest gap between original end of production and resumed production for an American live-action series that we're aware of.
