Back in January, Brian Grazer revealed that Netflix was close to finalising deals with the cast of Arrested Development and that a fifth season should be moving forward soon.
Well, it now it seems that everything is in place, as Jason Bateman has taken to Twitter to announce that he has officially signed his deal, and expected to begin filming this summer:
Look very probable I'm going to put some miles on the Stair Car this summer. Just officially signed on to more ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT today.
