Netflix to bring back 'Arrested Development'

Netflix has made another big programming move, striking a deal to bring back from the dead the critically acclaimed Fox series "Arrested Development."

The quirky ensemble show, which lasted only three seasons but won an Emmy Award for best comedy, followed the antics of the morally challenged Bluth family. The series, whose stars included Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Michael Cera and Portia de Rossi, was cancelled five years ago, it continued to find new fans via DVDs and reruns.

The show is expected to return with new episodes in the first half of 2013. The entire cast is expected to return, a person close to the project said. There has also been talk of making an "Arrested Development" movie as well, but so far no definite plan for that has emerged. There is no word yet as to how many episodes Netflix will order.

Netflix struck the deal for new episodes for its streaming service with Twentieth Century Fox Television, the News Corp.-owned unit that originally co-produced the show for its sister network Fox along with Imagine Entertainment.

“Bringing a classic show back to production on new episodes exclusively for Netflix customers is a game changer, and illustrates the incredible potential the new digital landscape affords great content providers like Twentieth Century Fox Television and Imagine," said Peter Levinsohn, Fox Filmed Entertainment’s President of New Media & Digital Distribution.

Too bad I don't have Netflix.
Damn.

1. It's only 7.99 a month.

And worth it.

[MarianJack]

2. I'll second that!

We don't have, and don't want cable.

We have wireless internet and watch Netflix streaming on our WII.

It pays for itself MANY times over monthly, if not daily.

PEACE!

3. Never mind that

I want the end of Carnivale.

4. Me, too!

I can't believe they left that one hanging.

6. Well you probably saw it years ago.

We've only had it from scratch here in the UK this year. We're up to about episode 9 in the second season now.

It wasn't until I watched the first season that I found that only two of three seasons were made. :(

:hi:

9. If it's as lackluster as the end of "Lost" i'd rather leave it to my imagination.

5. I am giddy with anticipation

As for the movie, all the cast and Ron Howard have been dropping hints that it will be made.
