SUDDEN VALLEY — Season four of "Arrested Development" was one of the most anticipated premiers in recent memory. While the reviews on the anthology type season were mixed it didn't stop hoards of people from watching it, and then watching it again.

With the success and hype surrounding season four fans have been asking for more. While everything seemed to be up in the air creator Mitch Hurwitz told fans this isn't the end.

During a Q&A at the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal, Chortle reports that Hurwitz was asked if we could expect another season with the Bluths. Hurwitz's response, "Definitely."

That's not necessarily definitive proof of another trip to The OC, but it's a start.

Hurwitz went on to say, "I keep thinking about it, and why don't we do the movie version of this and then do the series, because this series kinda peaks with the story? I kinda go back and forth between that and a series. But here's the most important thing, whatever we do, we want to get the cast all together and not do another anthology thing, and that's why I keep thinking about kicking off with a special or a three-part show and then into a series."

Hurwitz then turned to Sarandos again and asked, "Are you game for that?" Without hesitation Sarandos responded, "Absolutely. In any form."

Hurwitz is clearly on board and so is Netflix, it's now up to the cast. It's also nice to her that they plan on getting back to the old formula and not the individual episodes. While season four was still funny, it missed some of the magic from the earlier seasons by not having the whole crew together while telling their stories simultaneously.
