Now we’re even more bummed we couldn’t score tickets to yesterday’s Arrested Development reunion!
During the New Yorker Fest panel, the show’s creator Mitchell Hurwitz announced plans for a new TV show that will lead into the much-anticipated Arrested Development movie.
The spinoff will feature nine or ten episodes focusing on each character and the first scene of the movie will be all the characters reunited.
Jason Bateman, Michael Cera and Portia de Rossi were all on hand for the announcement.
Shooting for the TV show is tentatively set to begin next summer, presumably in Los Angeles where the original series was filmed.
‘We’re all game,’ Hurwitz said. ‘We’ve hated being coy, but we’ve been trying to put together this ambitious idea.’
