Could Arrested Development be making a small-screen comeback? From the tweets coming out of the Arrested Development reunion in New York today, it sounds like there’s a possibility of that. Or at the very least, series creator Mitchell Hurwitz might be trying to make it happen.

There’s been talk of an Arrested Development movie for years. A lot of the fans want it, and from what’s been said by those involved with the show, the cast is on board to do it. While nothing’s been confirmed yet, now it seems there are plans to bring the series back to TV before the movie.

TheFilmStage.com’s Jordan Raup tweeted the following from “The Bluth Family Reunion” Panel at The New Yorker Festival:
Arrested Development is coming back for one more season before the movie! [source]

After which he tweeted:
Hurwitz plans 9-10 new #ArrestedDevelopment eps to catch up on the last 5 years of each character before the film.

Could it be true? Considering it’s coming from AD creator Mitchell Hurwitz, it’s probably fair to say that at the very least, this is the idea he has in mind for the show’s return. Putting the series back on the air for a mini-season would certainly be a great way to rejuvenate interest before the film, and it would also serve to give the writers the opportunity to build up the story to set up the movie.

The comedy series aired on Fox for three seasons and went off the air in 2006. Five years later, fans are still hoping to see the story revisit and the Bluth family reunited for more of their ridiculous shenanigans. Hopefully we’ll hear more details on this plan/idea and find out whether something is actually in the works, and if Fox or some other network (or pay-cable channel?) is on board to host the series’ return.

Update: Will Arnett just Tweeted the following:
I’m peeing with @batemanjason at the moment…and we can confirm that we are going to make new AD eps and a movie

It is supposed to be 9-10 episodes, with each episode focusing on one character from the cast.

Yes!!!11

I just wish they would commit to more episodes and more seasons, if the movie does well I wonder if they would be willing to put AD back on the air and try another run as a TV series,…plz let it happen!

I’m so glad you guys heard the news. All time favorite and best show ever. And I was thinking about picking up “Modern Family.” Not gonna do that now. Going back to Arrested Development DVDs.

S.O.B.s campaign! Tell everyone! S.O.B.s must be known everywhere!

2013 makes happy tastes like sad

FOBio · October 3, 2011, 8:48pm

I’m surprised Jason Bateman is willing to do it. He’s been making a lot of movies recently.

Don_Barracuda · October 3, 2011, 9:19pm

Jason has said since day 1 that he would do the show again, pretty much everyone except Michael Cera wanted to come back.

I think in celebration every in this thread needs to have an AD related av8-)

That’s freakin’ awesome. Michael Cera…what a busta. He basically plays the George Michael character in every movie he’s in anyhow. What a busta.

King9999 · October 3, 2011, 9:35pm

No no no…reverse that decision.

platinum_pinoy · October 3, 2011, 10:28pm

omg, on the hype train.

Bahamut_zer0 · October 3, 2011, 11:55pm

From Mitch Hurwitz - “I kind of was perpetuating a little thing, like, wouldn’t it be funny if Michael Cera was the holdout,” he explained. “Let’s put that out there. …And then it really turned ugly, quickly. So I really just have to say, for those of you that have been following this saga, Michael’s always been great.”

There’s no one that thinks AD is “a pretty good show.” You either think AD is the best show ever made and can never be topped or you don’t really care about it. It’s not a real middle ground kind of show. So, people who love it will literally cum gallons of comedy ejaculate with news like this.

Pertho · October 4, 2011, 12:15am

I don’t think its the best show ever, but it was a damn good show.

arcticninja · October 4, 2011, 12:25am

I think it’s the best comedy, but there are “serious” shows I like more. I still came a bucket when I heard the news though.
