According to the show's official Twitter account, the hit series ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT is set for return very, very soon. The shows creator, Mitch Hurwitz, says in the posted letter: "A new fifth season of Arrested Development will be coming back to Netflix soon. Like real soon. Like, if you knew when, you would not be wrong to be thinking 'why are we all just hearing this now?' Well, I don't mean to be defensive, but I don't know why everyone's suddenly mad at me."

Arrested Development was created by Mitch Hurwitz and originally ran on FOX 2003-2006 before its unceremonious cancellation, though it has gained in popularity over the years and has become one of the most-viewed entities on all of Netflix.
