Netflix announced Thursday that the long-awaited season 4 of cult comedy Arrested Development will be released to subscribers on May 26. The 15-episode season will be released all at once, in keeping with Netflix Original series House of Cards and Lilyhammer.
Fans who have followed the season 4 saga will notice that the announced 15 episodes is one more than previously stated. And the previously-stated 14 episodes was 4 more than the originally-stated 10 episodes.
In a press release announcing the premiere date, Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said, "Arrested Development is now widely viewed as one of the top TV comedies of all time and Mitch Hurwitz is bringing it to Netflix in a brand new way, crafted for the on-demand generation that has come to discover the show in the years since it last appeared on TV."
The deal to bring Arrested Development to Netflix was inked in 2011, following the show's cancellation in 2006. Creator Mitch Hurwitz has said each episode in the new season will center around one of the core characters, catching audiences up on what's happened to them since 2006. As Entertainment Weekly notes, the entire season is being treated as a prequel to a potential movie.
The entire original cast is returning for season 4, including Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Portia de Rossi, Will Arnett and Jeffrey Tambor.
