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 :/

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.
