Arrested development season 5
Everything you need to remember about Arrested Development before season 5
Five long years after Arrested Development’s Netflix revival, creator Mitch Hurwitz has given the polarizing season four a “remix,” subtitled Fateful Consequences. Fifteen, single-focus episodes became 22 recut, traditional-sitcom episodes... which is a lot of TV to watch before Arrested Development season five debuts on May 29. Even if you saw the original batch of episodes, the story of season four is still tightly wound and purposefully convoluted, and nobody would blame you for forgetting almost everything that happened. That said, knowing Arrested’s knack for callbacks, it would be unwise to go into the new season without a clue where the show’s been before. In preparation for season five, we sat through all 22 episodes of the remix and took scrupulous notes. Here’s everything you need to know about the Bluths, broken down by family member, before watching season five of Arrested Development. Michael Bluth Michael (Jason Bateman) has some of … [Read more...] about Everything you need to remember about Arrested Development before season 5

Netflix’s first Arrested Development season 5 trailer is all callbacks
Days after dropping a remixed version of Arrested Development’s fourth season, Netflix announced that season five will debut on the streaming service on May 29. A trailer released alongside the premiere date news shows a bunch of footage from the comedy classic’s return — and longtime fans may find most of it looking very, very familiar. Our first look at season five is overloaded with winks and nods and elbow nudges at moments from Arrested Development’s original, impeccable run. Remember Lucille’s cheers of excitement, flapping hands and all? She’s doing that again. Tobias returns with both hair plugs and smudges of Blue Man Group-esque blue paint on his body, despite how badly both of those endeavors went for him before. George Michael even breaks out his fake muscle suit, from way back in season one. We’ll reserve judgment until Memorial Day weekend, when the season becomes available. But from this two-minute first look at the Bluths’ … [Read more...] about Netflix’s first Arrested Development season 5 trailer is all callbacks
Netflix is hiding Arrested Development’s original fourth season
Arrested Development’s original fourth season is still streaming on Netflix, but it takes a little bit of detective work to find it. Netflix debuted Arrested Development’s newly remixed fourth season today, and although it isn’t the only available option for Netflix subscribers, it is by far the most visible one. The remixed version re-edits the original 15, single character-focused episodes from 2013’s fourth season and turns them into 22 chronological episodes, each including a majority of the cast. If subscribers click play on Arrested Development’s fourth season from the platform’s main landing page, the remixed version will automatically start. Netflix subscribers have to go to the show’s official page and click on the “trailers and more” section to find the original cut of the fourth season. Netflix is clearly making it more difficult for people to watch the original fourth season, seemingly hoping that subscribers tune into … [Read more...] about Netflix is hiding Arrested Development’s original fourth season
