A Q&A session with Netflix’s Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos at the upcoming NAB Show will feature Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz and several cast members of the cult Fox comedy series, which is producing a new season for the streaming giant. Scheduled to appear are Will Arnett, Jeffrey Tambor, David Cross, Jessica Walter and Alia Shawkat. I’ve learned that none of the Arrested Development actors have deals to return yet but negotiations are going smoothly and filming is expected to begin in the summer. As for the absence of stars Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Michael Cera and Tony Hale, sources chalk it up to unavailability, not to any any issues with their negotiations. Coincidentally, it was at the most recent Arrested Development reunion at The New Yorker Festival in October where Hurwitz announced the Arrested Development TV return. Also scheduled to appear during Sarandos’ NAB session are creators/cast of the company’s upcoming series Hemlock Grove and Orange Is The New Black.

Nooooooooo need for the overhyped piece of mediocrity to return.
This is without question the greatest sitcom of all time. I hope the return can live up to the brilliant original seasons.
Hey! I like Hemlock Grove!
I’m happy for all the people that loved this show. HOWEVER why would they want to make a feature film for a show that no one really watched. I think a revisit on TV or the Web is great, but I think the movie version, as with the movie version of “24″ is better left in the pile of ideas of movies that won’t ever be in theaters.
Um, wrong. Arrested Development is arguably the greatest sitcom in history. Certainly the standout in the last 20 years, and I include Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm in that (which I love). Can’t wait for it to come back.
clinton: Many people have watched the show since then and the audience are much bigger now. I for one didn’t care about the show back when it aired but I’m a big fan now.
I’m happy that any critically acclaimed show is getting another shot. I will not be watching as I never found this kind of show humorous.
Clinton, thus is about another season of the sitcom, not a film. There has been talk of both, but Netflix wants the series, wisely (as I recall the facts).
Oh Shazaam, it’s a “miniseries” then a film. Oh well, a film is kind of a crazy idea. But if the cost is combined, it’s not as much of a risk.
Ahead of it’s time
