It's almost here!! The return of Arrested Development is right around the corner and I could not be more excited. I've been praying to the Netflix gods for months to ensure that the streaming works properly as soon as the series is live on Sunday May 26th at 12 a.m. PT.

The new season is bursting with tons of amazing guest stars including John Krasinski, Isla Fisher, Ed Helms, Kristen Wiig. Of course it's all about the Bluths, but the guest stars always bring their own funny to the series as well.
