Will Arnett confirms there will be a fifth season of Arrested Development

As if Lucille Bluth needed a reason for a martini...

Will Arnett stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night to give Jimmy a bottle of rosé he found, and to confirm some expected yet still awesome news: Arrested Development will be returning to Netflix for a fifth season.

"It's gonna happen," Arnett said. "We don't know when, but it's gonna happen." While season four saw the show focusing single episodes around specific characters, partly to accommodate the cast's busy and varying schedules, Arnett confirmed that for season 5, scheduling just depends on when the cast can actually get together to film — meaning that fans can hope for a more traditional framework and more full-on Bluth banter in future episodes. --Samantha Rollins
