Mitch Hurwitz: 'Arrested Development' Movie and Episodes in the Works

Could shoot as soon as next summer

It’s been five long years since Fox’s cult hit Arrested Development ended its three-season run by reassuring brokenhearted fans with the promise of a movie. But since then, the movie has turned into a running joke, with the show’s cast and producers constantly hinting that the feature was in the works, without ever giving a solid update. But now, it looks like Arrested fans might finally be able to stop pining for the next chapter in the lives of the highly dysfunctional Bluth family.

At this past weekend’s New Yorker Festival, during a panel discussion with the show’s creator Mitchell Hurwitz and members of the cast, Hurwitz told the audience that the movie is still in the works—in addition to a limited continuation of the television series to bring fans up to date on the characters’ whereabouts.
