(Not exactly breaking news, but I figured there should be a new thread for it).

Very excited for this. 13 episodes all "releasing" at once, on April Fool's Day. (Standard for Mitch Hurwitz to pick that date). They started shooting last week. All of the original cast is returning, with new guest stars (Dan Harmon included).

So it seems there is an episode for each character to catch us up on what they're up to these days, but some characters get two episodes (for bigger stories -- I'm hoping GOB, Michael, Tobias).

Netflix streaming isn't going to ration them out week by week. All 13 of them are going to go up immediately so you can instantly binge on it. We're assuming this 13-episode stretch is going to lay the groundwork for the movie, which they still say is "very likely" going to happen.

fsoyars -- have you heard anything more about it?

Now begins the interminable 7-month+ wait for the new episodes, followed by all of us marathoning in front of our TVs/computers for 6 hours to watch them all.

Really hope this concept works. I've often hypothesized with my friends how much money I would pay to be able to get a show like Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones in one shot instead of having to wait week to week.

MMMM BLORT!!!!

I love that they're dropping all 13 at once. I'm going to time a marathon that ends the second these go up and immediately watch all 13.

That looks like a $6,000 shirt.


"You're a good guy mon frere - that means brother in French...I don't know how I know that; I took four years of Spanish"

Honestly, just knowing I have more Arrested Development coming my way is more satisfying than the wait for it is frustrating.

i love so much thats the quote you picked.
its seriously my fav episode/plot line and that line just killed me i was lol'ing so hard thought i was going to black out.

cannot wait for this.

ps: the first spanish chick was super hot the one the replaced her with was a huge let down.

is there a chance this is all a very very involved, elaborate, well-planned April Fool's joke?

they've been jerking the fans around about this new season + movie for such a long time that I'm suspicious

No.

Is Harmon appearing on-screen?

I feel like that would be...not good.

John Slattery also is apparently confirmed for an arc in Season 4. Gotta figure that will be a successful pairing.

I woke my wife up at 1am laughing from that quote. It's probably my favorite. Favorite episode though is the one where Gob throws the office Christmas party though. "COME ON!"


53 Arrested Development Jokes you probably missed, but not anyone in this thread.

Haven't heard anything more than what you know but if I get any tidbits I'll post them here.

So it's being released on April Fool's Day? Ha! I knew this was too good to be true. Well played, everyone involved, you really got our hopes up.

Worth the wait and so much better all at once. Ofc they'd know that just still can't believe it.

You're blowing my mind Frank.

so awesome. It won't take very long to get through all of that. In!

So many people would have to be in on it.



That AD show is some kind of something. Boy, this AD show is all anybody's ever talking about. So sick and tired of hearing about how brilliant that AD show is. Overrated.

I really really really hope these are good. I'm 80% sure they will be, but Running Wilde was some kinda awful. So some doubt lingers...

The problem with Running Wilde was that one of the writers was a degenerate poker player. Fortunately, Arrested Development has weeded out the miscreant.

Michael: You gave Buster Forget-Me-Now's??

Gob: ...............I thought he was dating again!

I just blue myself in anticipation.

So with episodes focusing on specific characters, will each episode still have the ensemble cast?

Michael: You mean that she’s...?

GOB: A lady of the evening. Working girl. She turns illusions for money.... tricks.

3rd one is the best

And also

Probably one of my favorite Buster moments. One of the very few times Michael tries to be funny...
