When is new arrested development

Like real soon. On the next… Arrested Development pic. Tobias Funke wears short-shorts -- and the man who plays him, David Cross, has said that they'll be making an appearance in the "Arrested Development" revival Sometimes a frozen banana stand is just a frozen banana stand -- except when it's a Bluth family frozen banana stand; then it's very, very special Wink-wink, Lucille The "Hand to God" episode of "Arrested Development" really had viewers hooked with its missing appendage-based humor George Bluth would totally have a love affair with that ice-cream sandwich It could've been worse; at least the card didn't identify him as an "analrapist" This is totally gonna mess with G.

Two years later, when season four dropped on the streaming service in one go, fans this writer included took days off to binge it in one go. Stories circulated of Bluth-themed viewing parties, complete with frozen bananas, ice cream sandwiches and boxes of wine.

The Guardian even ran a live blog to celebrate its release in real time. Not after the mess of its fourth season. This was, to borrow its most enduring catchphrase, a huge mistake: so bad, in fact, that Hurwitz ended up re-cutting and re-releasing the series later in a more linear order. Arrested Development could have characters who lived up to that title, locked in immature cycles of behaviour that flirted with depravity.

George could get pally with Saddam Hussein and build flimsy homes in Iraq. Gob could cheat on his girlfriends. The family could embezzle, defraud, whatever — even incest was fair game, as cousins George Michael and Maeby navigated romantic urges for one another. But this only worked by having a moral anchor in the midst of that storm: Michael. He was a widow: a fact alluded to in the show but never pushed into the foreground. Five years passed before season five arrived, again on Netflix.

This time, off-screen distractions derailed it before these new much better episodes saw the light of day. First, there were sexual misconduct allegations made against Jeffrey Tambor , who plays George Sr, in November the actor was accused of harassment on the set of Amazon drama Transparent , who duly fired him.

Instead, the creators have produced something so flat and stale, it may make fans wonder why they ever liked this series in the first place.
