Arrested Development are impatiently awaiting the return of this series for a fifth season on Netflix, but there has been a long delay since the fourth season made its debut on the streaming service a couple of years ago.

David Cross gave the latest update about the series recently, and Digital Spy shared his comments. He revealed the reason for the delay by saying the following:

“It’s just a matter of getting the deal worked out – I think there’s like four or five different entities who own a piece of it. Making that deal work out is the toughest part – and then of course they have to schedule the actors. But I know that [series creator] Mitch Hurwitz has been working on it and wants to do it – we all want to do it.”

Other members of the cast have made it clear that they want to return for a fifth season, but it is a matter of scheduling for the most part.
