Arrested Development is coming back for a fifth season, and one member of the cast gave fans of the series the latest update on the return during a recent interview.

Jason Bateman spoke about the Netflix series with Deadline. He said the following:

“We start shooting first week of August. I haven’t seen any scripts yet, but it’s my understanding that this season is basically the second act of a three-act story that started with the first load of Netflix episodes. It was a story that Mitchell Hurwitz hatched after the FOX episodes. There’s no plan yet to do a third act, but if this season is embraced that is definitely a possibility. One of the major stories is the death of Liza Minnelli’s character and who did it. It’s not a murder mystery per se, but that’s one of the central threads.”

A release date has not yet been set for season five of Arrested Development. Are you excited for the return of this series? Tell us what you think.
