Arrested Development Season 4 will be available solely through Netflix when it debuts this May, but that doesn’t mean it’s stuck on the streaming service forever. Fox, not Netflix, owns the rights to the series, and Netflix’s chief content officer Ted Sarandos confirmed at AllThingsD’s Dive Into Media conference this week that the comedy could hit DVD or iTunes once Netflix’s license runs out.
Still, serious Arrested addicts should probably just bite the bullet and shell out for a Netflix subscription. While Sarandos wouldn’t reveal just how long Netflix’s exclusive deal was, he confirmed that it was “longer than the typical license.” It’ll probably still be some time, then, before we can watch the Bluths’ exploits without a WiFi connection.

The return of Arrested Development is undoubtedly one of the biggest pop culture events of 2013. Mitch Hurwitz‘s comedy has been off the air since 2006 but Netflix will release either 13 of 14 brand-new episodes simultaneously this May. If that revival is successful, the plan is to possibly follow it up with a movie. And in a new interview with USA Today, Hurwitz explains exactly how that film would tie into the new episodes.
He also discusses some of the difficulties of shooting these new episodes with their now super-famous cast, how these episodes will feel different from the original three seasons that aired on Fox from 2003-2006, and their overall story. Read his quotes and a ton of new information about Arrested Development after the jump.

The Netflix-only fourth season of Arrested Development won’t kick off until sometime next year, but the site has already gone a little Bluth-y. On Wednesday they added a huge cache of fake shows, movies and more that were highlighted on the first three seasons of show to their catalog. These titles, such as Lindsay Bluth’s hated Girls with Low Self Esteem: Newport Beach, George Michael’s secret obsession Les Cousins Dangereux, the young Bluth boys in Boyfights and everyone’s favorite nightly news magazine, Scandalmakers, all just link to the Arrested Development page. But that didn’t stop the site from adding box art and descriptions. After the jump, check those all out. Read More »

In a surprise twist worthy of a Scandinavian crime drama, The Killing is coming back to AMC for a third season after all. The cable channel announced over the summer that it’d be axing the mystery series after two seasons. Then Netflix stepped up to possibly revive the show, and revive it it has — but on AMC, not Netflix. The streaming service is chipping in for the licensing cost, and The Killing is now on track to return for a third season in May 2013. More details after the jump.
