Arrested Development, which aired on Fox for three seasons before making the jump to Netflix in 2013 for its fourth season, will return for a fifth season which is scheduled to air in 2018.

The entire cast, plus creator Mitch Hurwitz, will return to the franchise including Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walter, Will Arnett, Tony Hale, Protia de Rossi, David Cross and Alia Shawkat.

“In talks with Netflix we all felt that stories about a narcissistic, erratically behaving family in the building business, and their desperate abuses of power, are really underrepresented on TV these days,” said Hurwitz in a press release.
