"Arrested Development" creator Mitch Hurwitz has revealed new details regarding the fifth season on Netflix, as well as news for the fourth season, according to ScreenCrush.
In an interview with Esquire, Hurwitz spoke of star Maria Bamford's new Netflix series "Lady Dynamite," while also revealing a few updates on the status of "Arrested Development's" future.
Hurwitz said, "I spent some time in the writers room developing an outline for the next season or seasons if we’re able to make a deal. I’m trying very hard to get it done because we have a great story to tell. The clock is ticking. We were putting up a wall before Trump was. There were so many things like that. We had a political race that was going to continue in the fifth season. A lot of people thought what Trump was doing was the more they try to self destruct because they don’t want office, the more the crowd gathers around them. Which was a viable theory about Trump. […]"
He continued, "We were also building to a murder mystery and we were laying all these clues, and it was before there was this sudden interest in true crime with [Robert] Durst, Making a Murderer, and OJ. And there were so many OJ references in the fourth season. We even had Gob find a perfectly good OJ Simpson in the dumpster behind the wax museum. He was, like, driving around with this OJ Simpson and that was going to fit into the murder plot. But we’ll find new things. I’m trying, man."
While we have heard all this before, Hurwitz did offer an update on Season 5's time frame, revealing that it will happen but more than likely after the presidential election and that there will be a recut of the fourth season that will be similar to the previous seasons.
Hurwitz said, "It’ll happen. It’ll definitely happen. Not before the election, but it’s definitely going to happen. I say that because the actors want to do it, the studio wants to do it, Netflix wants to do it, I want to do it. It’s just making it happen. There’s no one resisting. There’s a recut, too, of the fourth season, just to make it airable on TV. They’re like the old Arrested Developments. We redid all the narration and reshot a few little things. Now we have 22 episodes, and they’re delightful to watch and they’re much less work than the Netflix series. My hope is we’ll find a place to air those."
There is no news if Netflix will stream this new recut, but we are sure hoping the streaming service will bring them on board.
