The fourth season of Arrested Development starts showing in May. There are 14 episodes and its star Will Arnett and series creator Mitch Hurwitz shared some details with Us Weekly. They revealed that things have changed for worse for the crazy Bluth family. Believe it or not, they are even more eccentric in the new season, all thanks to the economic collapse they had to withstand. “The family has kind of fallen apart,” says Arnett. “Left to their own devices, all of these characters will evolve into the worst versions of themselves.” The actor also spoke about his character in the series: “Gob’s got a new group of friends. He’s running with a pretty fast crowd. His fallback is always his illusions. Magic is who he is.”
Mitch Hurwitz said that there will be some innovations and that each episode will focus on one character. “It was hard to get everyone together at the same time. When you try to get that group together again, it’s unlikely,” he explains. “Everyone has gone on to great careers and movies and such…We’re asking for 20 weeks from everyone. That’s a huge chunk of time! We decided everyone gets one week and then we’ll get them to make cameos in other episodes.”
