Jason Bateman Teases The Start Of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT Season 5 On Twitter
It looks like the fifth season of the cult comedy Arrested Development is on its way to Netflix thanks to actor Jason Bateman who took to Twitter to share with fans that the upcoming season is officially happening. Bateman tweeted a photo of a very familiar-looking living room with the caption, “Here comes trouble. The Bluths move back in on the 8th.”
In an interview with Deadline Hollywood, Bateman said that they start production on the new season on the first week of August. He also said that this coming season will be a second act of a three-act story that started with the first load of Netflix episodes.
“It was a story that Mitchell Hurwitz hatched after the Fox episodes,” he said. “There’s no plan yet to do a third act, but if this season is embraced that is definitely a possibility. One of the major stories is the death of Liza Minnelli’s character and who did it. It’s not a murder mystery per se, but that’s one of the central threads.”
The next season of Arrested Development is scheduled to be available for streaming on Netflix in 2018.
