There will always be money in the banana stand for the Bluth
family. And, by money, we mean viewers! And, by banana stand, we mean Netflix. Producer
Brian Grazer and his always-astonishing hair appeared on Bill Simmons' podcast
to chat about a variety of things when the Hollywood bigwig divulged their plans.
Grazer said, "We're going to do another 17
episodes," which is kinda random, even for the brave new world of Netflix
streaming. It's so random that it must be true, just like Occam's razor! But, how will all of us Netflix obsessives binge-watch something for
17 hours in a row? That can't be healthy. We'll get bedsores! Or, at least
couch sores.
Netflix et al had been talking about doing another season
as soon as the fourth hit Netflix, and that was even with the less-than-glowing
reviews. Either way, with Netflix's surge in pricy original programming, more Arrested Development seems like a no-brainer. (Vulture)
