The audience of "Arrested Development" kept on demanding more, and soon they will get a Season 5 of the show. In 2013, Netflix debuted Season four of the series, according to an article on The Wrap.

The show's producer Brian Grazer letthe cat out of the bag when he was doing an interview on the "Adam Carolla Show" podcast.

"Netflix is determined to do more episodes, so we're going to do more episodes," Grazer told Carolla on his show, noting that new episodes will start filming after the new year. He also said that fans can expect the new episodes to start streaming about four months after that.

The show started on Fox and gained a huge cult-following, but it ended after only three seasons. Despite a large degree of critical success for the series, it was never able to produce big enough ratings for it to continue airing on Fox. 

Not only is the show coming back for a fifth season, it is going to be super packed with 17 episodes. If the episodes are anything like Season 4 though, they will be within the 28 to 37 minutes range, which differs from the standard 22-minute episode of a broadcast or cable sit-com.

Netflix is in a strangely unique position to be able offer this long of an episode per season because all episodes are on demand, meaning they stream freely on its video buffet service with no time constraints, unlike ad-supported television networks. 

The first run of "Arrested Development" was from 2003 to 2006 on Fox. It took nearly seven years for it to return on Netflix before the original fans were delighted with laughs of their new episodes.

Vulture reports that the crazy production scheduling is because Grazer had to work around everyone else's schedules to keep everyone on-board.
