Alia Shawkat is definitely on board for more “Arrested Development.”

“We’re all up to doing more,” Shawkat told Page Six at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of her latest movie, “The Driftless Area,” on Saturday.

“It’s whenever Mitch [Hurwitz] writes it and is ready,” she continued. “The last season ended on a cliffhanger so I’d really like to think the story is going to continue, but probably in some weird special format. I am always up to doing more — it’s, like, my favorite character.”

Shawkat, who celebrated her 26th birthday on Saturday night, was cast as the quirky Bluth cousin, Maeby Fünke, more than a decade ago. The show, which originally aired on FOX between 2003 and 2006, returned in 2013 for 15 new episodes on Netflix.

“I hang out with Michael [Cera] a lot,” she said of her lasting friendships with the cast. “I see David Cross every now and again. We have this crazy experience together and it’s weird to do a project that follows you and stays with you that you’re proud of so many years later.”

She added, “I think we all have this weird familial bond, especially me and Michael because we were so young when we started.”

Earlier this month, executive producer Brian Grazer revealed that there will be 17 new episodes in an interview with Grantland’s Bill Simmons.

“Stay tuned for ‘Arrested Development,'” Grazer teased fans.
