Book your celebratory table at Klimpy’s — and pray that the Ike and Tina Tuna is still on the menu — because the Bluth family is coming back to television.

"Arrested Development" executive producer Brian Grazer confirmed during an interview with The B.S. Report that a fifth season of the cult-favorite comedy is in the works.



“We’re gonna do another 17 episodes,” Grazer told host Bill Simmons, when asked about the Emmy-winning series that ran for three seasons (from 2003-2006) on Fox, then was revived with an additional 15-episode run in 2013 via Netflix.

“So stay tuned for Arrested Development.”

Nearly two months after Grazer confirmed a fifth season of the cult comedy, he revealed that the new episodes will likely hit Netflix in mid-2016.

“Netflix is determined to do more episodes, so we’re going to do more episodes,” Grazer told Adam Carolla on his daily podcast, adding that production will begin “after the first of the year” for a Season 5 premiere “four months after that.”
