Arrested Development will return "sooner rather than later", star Will Arnett has claimed.

The actor - who plays Gob - told Digital Spy and others that "everybody involved in the show" is keen to make more episodes with Netflix.

"I know that there's been a lot of talk," said Arnett. "The truth is that we are actually just trying to figure out exactly how we're going to do it.

"There is a plan to do something - I don't want to say exactly what it's going to be yet, but we are actively talking about how it's going to come together in its next form.

"Needless to say, we are going to continue on in telling the story of the Bluths and it will be sooner rather than later."

Arnett also addressed the "lukewarm" reaction to the comedy's fourth season, which launched on Netflix in May.

"We had such a great experience making season four and we're all so proud of it," he insisted.

"I know that there was some reaction that was lukewarm and there were a lot of people who criticised it for not being the old show... but that was the point - it wasn't supposed to be the old show,

"It was supposed to be this new thing, and in time... I think people will realise that it's pretty amazing what [showrunner] Mitch [Hurwitz] did."

Netflix chief content office Ted Sarandos recently said that there is "no question" Arrested Development will return to the online outlet, adding: "It is just a matter of when and what form it takes."

Will Arnett stars in The Millers, starting tonight (Monday, October 14) at 9.30pm on Comedy Central UK.
