Good news today, in case you didn’t believe the news when it first broke in October: One Arrested Development writer has confirmed that the entire cast and writing team WILL be back for the new season (premiering exclusively on Netflix) and film.

The Huffington Post reports:

The entire original cast of “Arrested Development” — Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Jeffrey Tabor, David Cross, Michael Cera, Portia De Rossi, Tony Hale, Alia Shawkat and Jessica Walter — will be back for the new season on Netflix, according to writer Dean Lorey.

Lorey took to his blog to share the news.

“We’re really doing this thing,” he wrote. “Mitch Hurwitz, Jim Vallely and I are off writing the new season of ‘Arrested’ to premiere on Netflix in 2013.”

To all the skeptics out there, Lorey confirmed that production is underway, even though the schedule is under wraps. “There are offices and parking spaces,” he wrote. The new season is slated to debut on Netflix in 2013, with a film to follow.
