Ron Howard Has A Minor Update On ‘Arrested Development’ Season 5

The fact that Hurwitz is actively working with writers seems like an encouraging sign. Still, Howard shied away from saying anything too definitive. He continued:
Previously, executive producer Brian Grazer stated that “another 17 episodes” of Arrested Development were coming from Netflix — a step up from Season 4, which had 15 episodes. In June, Grazer offered a vague timeline for the show’s production and release:
It’s hopeful. What has happened is that the cast has become so freakin’ in demand and busy. Everyone wants to do it. Fans want it. I would be saddened if we didn’t achieve it. I’m the announcer and the narrator, and I have to get back to that microphone.
Grazer added that he expected the episodes to hit Netflix about four months after production began. However, it’s unclear if that’s still the plan. Netflix still hasn’t officially announced Arrested Development Season 5, which suggests they’re still working out all the various deals and schedules, and January is just a few short weeks away.
But hey, there was a time when we never, ever thought we’d get an Arrested Development Season 4, and that happened. So in the meantime, just try and stay patient. Might we make a suggestion as to how you might occupy yourself in the meantime?
