“Arrested Development” Update: All 10 Episodes Will Hit Netflix at Once . . . and There Could Be Additional Seasons

“Arrested Development” creator Mitch Hurwitz has revealed more details about the show’s fourth season, which will premiere on Netflix sometime early next year.

Here’s what you need to know:

All 10 episodes will hit Netflix at once, on the SAME DAY. Hurwitz said, quote, “There’s going to be some mystery sprinkled throughout this, [but] instead of watching one a week and try to get ahead of it . . .

“The hope is [that fans] will watch them all together and then go back and look for clues and connections.” No specific release date has been announced, but production is set to begin this summer.

He also vaguely talked about using “technology to provide additional material, where you might be able to access another part of the story.” (–It seems like this could mean releasing some sort of bonus content online, but he didn’t elaborate.)

Initially, the plan was to have each of the episodes focus on a specific character . . . like an anthology . . . but it sounds like that isn’t happening anymore. Hurwitz said, quote, “[It's] evolving into becoming more like the old show again.”

There’s supposed to be an “Arrested Development” MOVIE that would come out AFTER the Netflix season, but Hurwitz didn’t mention anything about that.

But get this: He’s open to doing additional seasons on Netflix. He said, quote, “We would love this to be the first of many visits.”

All the main characters will be back, and Hurwitz didn’t address the status of the minor characters . . . except to say that SCOTT BAIO’S Bob Loblaw will return.

(–Netflix is now streaming the first three seasons of “Arrested Development”.)
