That noise you hear is the sound of Arrested Development fans clearing their schedules in late May.

Netflix announced early Thursday that the show?s upcoming fourth season will be available simultaneously on Sunday, May 26.

What?s more, the episode order has grown yet again, from 14 to 15 episodes.

As previously reported, each episode will focus on a single AD character (although other Bluths will weave in and out).

In addition to the core cast returning, guest stars on tap for the revival include Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Liza Minnelli (aka Lucille 2), Conan O?Brien, John Slattery (Mad Men), Chris Diamantopoulos (24), Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers) and Terry Crews (Everybody Hates Chris).

Is 'Arrested Development' season 4 the first of a trio?

It hardly seems possible that we're just five days away from the return of Arrested Development, that woefully cancelled sitcom that is returning after seven long years. All fifteen half-hour episodes of the show's fourth season will premiere on Netflix this Sunday -- an exciting prospect for the show's ever-growing fanbase.

Of course, the fact that we'll be getting season 4 all at once already has some people asking, "Is that it?" There's no doubt that season 4 will leave us wanting a season 5, but Netflix is playing its cards close to the chest and refusing to allow whether or not the show has a future beyond its fourth season.

But given that Arrested Development's viewership will likely be the highest for any original content Netflix has done, let's just assume that they're open to the idea. Is creator Mitch Hurwitz? Or the show's cast?

Answer: probably. In fact, there seem to be plans for more Arrested Development already. Obviously there's the movie that's been discussed for years now. In a press conference for the show's return, Hurwitz mentioned that a movie was still part of the plan. But, according to star Jason Bateman, it's part of a "trio" that includes season 4.

So what's the third element of that trio? Another season of the series? The show's first three seasons? The press conference yielded no answers in that regard (and why would it?), but it should at least reassure fans that even after they stay up all night to marathon the eight hours of Arrested Development season 4, they still haven't seen the last of the Bluths.

I think even if they milked it, it would still be better than most of the comedy stuff on at the moment. Obviously im hoping for quality but kinda setting expectations low too, sometimes things just shouldnt come back for a reason, writers, actors etc change, not 100% guarantee that they recreate the original magic.

That being said cannot believe all episodes will be available on day 1 that is insanity!!!!!!!!! Wont be able to stop myself watching them in a matter of day(s)

Netflix unleashes four 'Arrested Development' shorts on eve of return

Though I?m sure it?s been said many time (in many ways) in the last few days, we are in ?The Final Countdown? until the return of ?Arrested Development.?

Season four (don?t call it that) premieres all at once Sunday on Netflix. That?s 15 brand-new episodes, with each reportedly concentrating on a single character.

Critics haven?t gotten screeners and not a lot of footage has been revealed, save one outtake and a trailer.

Now the streaming service has sent four new videos out into the world featuring Maeby (played by Alia Shawkat), Lindsay (Portia de Rossi), Lucille (Jessica Walter), George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor) and Gob (Will Arnett).

?Arrested Development? ran for three seasons on Fox, ending in 2006. Though its ratings didn?t set the world afire, the comedy developed a devoted cult following that clamored for its return from the moment of its demise. Now, the show will return, with its entire original cast intact. Let?s all hope the new episodes (and supposed latter film) are good, and that they haven?t made a huge mistake.

Just re-watched the last few episodes of Season 3. I am ready for the Bluth's return.

It honestly dumbfounds me that this show was ever even cancelled.

Truly some of the smartest writing in the history of television period.

Cannot wait to wake up tomorrow morning and start the marathon. :punk:

No group of people are more qualified at getting good shows cancelled than the fine people at Fox marketing.

I'm making a marathon on the seasons 1-3 as I haven't seen this show before. Gotta say, I'm 4 episodes in on season 1 and I'm really struggling to enjoy this show. I really want to like it, but it's a bit shaky so far :/

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

      Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By Nas · Posted

      Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
