Last month it was announced that Arrested Development would be returning to television. What we didn’t know was that it would be by way of Netflix, not a network.
Netflix has basically fixed all of its wrongs over the last year with one big deal. Suddenly Netflix is going to be as important to have as FX is on cable. It looks like they are putting the money they are saving by dumping Starz to good use with deals like this one and the deal for David Fincher’s House of Cards.
It’s also rumored that Netflix will be getting an exclusive on Weed’s creator Jenji Kohan’s Orange is the New Black soon.
