Arrested Development, Returning After 7 Years....To Netflix

After three years (2003-2006), Arrested Development was canceled by Fox. However, seven years later Netflix revived the show this year with the release of season 4, containing 15 new episodes. Arrested Development now "airs" exclusively on Netflix. The first episode aired on May, 26th, containing several actors who had recurring roles in the previous seasons. The actors/actresses starring in the 4th season of  Arrested Development are: Carl Weathers, Henry Winkler, Ben Stiller, Mae Whitman, John Slattery, Terry Crews, Isla Fisher, and John Krasinski. Some of the guest stars that appear in this season are Kristen Wiig and Seth Rogen. With Arrested Development debuting on Netflix, we are able to watch all 15 episodes with no wait.

Arrested Development is not the first T.V series to air solely on Netflix. Orange is the New Black, and House of Cards have also turned to Netflix to air their shows. It will be interesting to see how many other shows will follow this new "trend", and if cable networks will be able keep up with the popularity Netflix has obtained due to their accessibility, convenience. their ability to meet the audiences demand.

  1. Nice post, Tyler. I definitely agree -- it'll be interesting to see how this trend will continue going forward. Cable companies are really having to change their strategies and adapt to the convenience of services like Neflix, Hulu, and others. With higher broadband speeds and a growing number of "connected" devices, traditional cable outlets are trying to keep pace with the different streaming services. Really interesting to think about the future of traditional cable networks and how they'll react to the rapid, ever-changing world of streaming.
