            One of the most beloved comedies of all time is returning for a fifth season. Jason Bateman announced via Twitter that Arrested Development will return to its most recent home, Netflix for Season 5. Best news of all: the whole entire cast and crew will be returning.

            Arrested Development ran on Fox from 2003-2006 and won Best Comedy Series at the Emmy’s in 2004 but due to poor ratings, the show went off the air after three seasons. Fandom took over though and Netflix managed to bring everyone back for a fourth season in 2014 which was met to a mixed response due to the complicated timeline of the narrative. Expect them to change the formula back to its original format for Season 5.

            The cult comedy series stars Bateman, Michael Cera, Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walter, Will Arnett, Tony Hale, Portia de Rossi, David Cross and Alia Shawkat. Mitch Hurwitz will also return for show running duties. Bateman also claimed of a Summer shoot but no word has been given to confirm that yet.
