The triumphant return of "Arrested Development" was a huge success for Netflix and the show. Now after the fourth season, everyone is wondering if the series will return with a fifth season or a movie. The good news is that it will return with both according the show's creator Mitch Hurwitz!
According to a new interview with Rolling Stone, Hurwitz is planning on an "Arrested Development" movie and then hopefully following that up with a fifth season, depending on its success.
"I'm working on the movie right now," he said. "I can't get into much more detail because I don't want to scare anybody off. I don't want to be presumptuous about it. I don't own the property outright - it's a 20th Century Fox property. But everybody seems really into it and really eager to make a movie."
He added: "I'm hoping it happens as soon as possible. But I want to be very careful about not putting out false information. I want to get a time and tell everybody when it's happening and not play with people. Right now, I'm trying to do something else for Netflix and a movie project and things. I'm always sort of superstitious about talking about this stuff before it happens. It's the best way to guarantee it doesn't happen."
In regards to getting everyone together again (which was a hassle during season 4), Hurwitz said: "A TV season is a six-month commitment. But I think it would be very doable to get them together for four or five weeks to make a movie."
"The whole thing is sort of unprecedented," he said, explaining how he hopes to work in a new season. "It's always been its own little thing. I kind of feel like the more it stays original, the better chance it has. As soon as it goes back to trying to do exactly what it was before, you run the risk of doing a reunion show or something."
