Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz announced in 2014 that he was going to recut the show after the fourth season made its Netflix debut in 2013. The original structure of the season has each episode focused on one character. Hurwitz has “remixed” this version that intercuts all the characters’ stories chronologically. And has lengthened the 15-episode season into a shorter 22-episode season with 20-minute long episodes that create a more “interwoven” narrative than the original. And after four long years, this new version is coming to Netflix tomorrow, May 4. As for Season 5, it’s “right around the wall,” according to Arrested Development’s official Twitter account.
