‘Arrested Development’ Is Definitely Not Coming Back, David Cross Says
A lack of scripts, extended, shoots and other tensions means that “Arrested Development” will not return, series star David Cross said in a new interview.
A lack of scripts, extended, shoots and other tensions means that “Arrested Development” will not return, series star David Cross said in a new interview.
Season 5 offers enough closure and comedy in its loop-de-loo, overlong second half to justify calling it quits for a while, if not for good.
Next month’s last half of a much-maligned season might bring the series to a close.
Netflix has quite a slate of March TV options, including DJ Idris Elba, the return of “Arrested Development,” and animated robots.
There’s still eight more episodes to come in the new year, but the comedian admits, “I can’t see it happening again.”
The actor and comedian reflected on the well-publicized incident between Tambor and Jessica Walter, including offering some insight into a tough on-set climate.
She regrets not ending the interview as soon as Jessica Walter began crying.
“I misinterpreted what I understood to have played out, and more importantly the depth of Jessica’s pain about it,” said the series creator of the on-set incident.
While recent events tarnished our fond memories of the comedy, a major plot omission may also be to blame.
Netflix managed to upload several shows at the end of May, just making the eligibilty window. But with TV Academy members already overwhelmed with choices, will it help?
The composer-songwriter also shares thoughts on a possible “Northern Exposure” reunion and the joys of teaching Ted Danson to play bass.
Given recent events, the act of watching “Arrested Development” is even more complicated than its elaborate plots, but the best new bits come from great women and Gob.
