And now, the story of an unjustly terminated show, and the streaming-video service that’s brought it back. Seven years after Fox pulled the plug on this influential comedy series, its cult following finally gets a chance to spend more time with the Bluth family, as the dysfunctional California clan returns for a fourth and final season. Netflix, which produced the new episodes and is releasing all 15 at once, convinced the entire cast to return, including Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Portia de Rossi, and Michael Cera. Available for streaming Sunday, May 26, on Netflix
