YOU NEVER KNOW IF YOU NEVER TRY

The comedy series Arrested Development, off the air since 2006, will soon give fans up to 10 new episodes and a movie already in the works, according to Mitchell Hurwitz, the creator of the Emmy Award-winning show.

Hurwitz revealed Arrested Development would return for another season, acting as a lead-in to the upcoming film.

“We’re basically hoping to do 9 or 10 episodes, with almost one character per episode,” Hurwitz said at a New Yorker conference reuniting the ensemble cast on stage.

Hurwitz called it "a limited-run series into the movie” but didn't offer a timeline on when the episodes will air. The episodes explain what the characters have been up to since the show last aired, and several storylines will lead into the planned movie.

Jason Bateman, who played one of the Bluth boys in Arrested Development, recently tweeted: "It's true. We will do 10 episodes and the movie. Probably shoot them all together next summer for a release in early '13. VERY excited!
