At 12:01a PST, 3:01a EST and 8:01a GMT and so on, Arrested Development is coming back for its 4th season on Netflix and it is a must much. Earlier this week I was on a conference call with show creator Mitch Hurwitz and here are 5 things he told about the 15 episodes that debut in just a few hours!
What will see on Netflix that we didn’t see on Fox?:
We actually do have nudity in the show. I won’t tell you. It’s one of the principal cast members.
The origin of the Banana Stand?:
So, you know, we try too and I – you know, I had a cookie business there with my brother, when we were growing up, called the Chip Yard and, we ran, and that sort of became the inspiration for the banana stand
What Seth Rogen had to do to play a young George Bluth Sr?
He’s got the lowest voice in the history of cinema. And, he lowered it to be Jeffrey Tambor.
And lastly what to keep your eyes out for…:
Well, as it turns out, we did a show where we wanted the rules of the world to be consistent. That if there was blue paint, you know, blue makeup on the wall, we wanted it to stay there the next week. And, if somebody smashed a hole in the wall, we wanted that hole there the next week. What became kind of the esthetic of the show was, let’s create as much of a reality as we can.
When will we see the next season of Arrested Development?:
I know that Jason Bateman, early on, maybe Jeffrey, you said this too, but Jason used to always say, we should do it like the Michael Apted films. And, do them every seven years. And I like that idea, except you only get so many seven years in your life, which you realize, as you get older. So, maybe it’s every three years? You know, every two years? Something like that.
