'Arrested Development' Season 5 News, Rumors: Series Tapped for 17 More Episodes by Netflix?

The popular TV show "Arrested Development' will be getting a new season, as announced by the Executive Producer of the show, Brian Grazer.

During an interview with Bill Simmons on one of his podcast shows, Grazer made the announcement and said that the audience can expect a more quirky comedy season, this time around. Netflix, however, hasn't made the announcement official by giving a confirmation.

Reportedly, the new season will have around 17 episodes. The show, which streamed the fourth season in 2013 on Netflix, has been called off by Fox for several years now. Before Netflix, Arrested Development aired its first three seasons on television before being cancelled.

Speaking in the interview, Grazer said, "We're going to do another 17 episodes, so stay tuned for 'Arrested Development.'"

"Arrested Development' was created by Mitchell Hurwitz, followed the events and happenings of the fictitious Bluth family, a formerly wealthy and habitually dysfunctional family. The show originally starred Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Will Arnett, Michael Cera, Alia Shawkat, Tony Hale, David Cross, Jeffrey Tambor and Jessica Walter.

Even last year, there were efforts made to revive the show. Netflix's Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said he was positive that Season 5 would happen, and told USA Today, "It's just a matter of when."
