Following an informal announcement in early October, Netflix announced this past Friday that Arrested Development would begin producing new episodes once again for exclusive distribution on the streaming television website.
Now, show star Will Arnett is sharing some light details about where they currently are in the development process.
“It was just announced that we are going to make some more episodes,” Will told us at the event benefiting the Noreen Fraser Foundation, “sort of a mini-series if you will, for Netflix. The prospect of doing it is really exciting for all of us!”
So how is Will going to juggle the new AD episodes with his current TV gig on NBC’s Up All Night? The man we know and love as Gob Bluth just lets out a laugh and admits, “I have no idea.”
Super-speedy Segway jaunts between next-door sets? Make it happen, NBC and Netflix!
Will also says that there are no details yet on where the series will pick up as far as the storyline, joking that his pitch would be: “OK, exterior: Night. A hard rain falls on Orange County. [Turns to Amy.] By the way, that’s a great idea right? Don’t for get that I said that.”
We’ll continue to keep you updated on the return of the show as it progresses!
