Arrested Development's Episode Order Grows

[Big Smokes]

Production on Arrested Development‘s “comeback” season has hit the pause button, but for the best of reasons — to bring you even more Bluth goodness.

As reported by our sister site Deadline, during the course of shooting the original 10-episode order for Netflix, AD creator Mitch Hurwitz amassed more material than planned, as he dreamed up new scenes and story arcs on the fly.

As such, Hurwitz — along with producing studios 20th Century Fox TV and Imagine TV — got Netflix to greenlight an additional two to five episodes, bringing the total order to as many as 15. Production was then halted (until late January) so that Hurwitz can review the extra material and decide how and where it will be used to populate additional episodes.

A rep for Netflix told Deadline that as of now “we are not confirming or announcing the final episode count, but we are sure fans will be thrilled when we do.”

Even with the reported extra episodes, the new season of Arrested Development will still drop all at once, on Netflix, sometime in the spring.

best, most layered, tv comedy to exist. Love this show, but you have to watch it in order or you'll really miss out.

"Did you know that if you search for the word “Blue” in netflix, you will see some blue smudges and even a blue hand on the results page. Well, if you click on that, it takes you to the exact scene in The One Where Michael Leaves where Michael is walking around the house and starts noticing the blue paint smudges everywhere."
