Best.news.ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! New episodes AND a movie? 
I'm soooooooooooooo there!
LOVE IT!!!!
I can't believe they are doing new episodes... I never even thought about that as an option!
This is the best show EVAH on tv! And I could never figure out why more people didn't know about it and love it.
The way they took references and circled back to them repeatedly for new jokes was nothing short of genius!
I loved the Tobias jokes the most because they were so clever.
My only complaint of the show was that I didn't know anyone who watched it in real life so we could repeat the silly lines over and over. I used to beg my bestfriend to watch it just so she'd understand why something like, "I was told it's called a Bob," was so hysterical! haha

I'm so excited!! I hope 1. it happens and 2. it is at the same quality as the show was during its run. If they do it because they feel they need to after all this time and produce sub-par work, it'll be devastating. However I think they're smart enough not to do that. I'm so excited! Intrigued to see where all the characters will be in their lives. I wonder if Michael will be remarried...
This is the best news I've heard in a while. I was really concerned that the movie would never happen but bringing back the show for 9-10 episodes + the movie is not a huge mistake. 
I've been a big Jason Bateman fan since his Silver Spoons days, but Tobias was hilarious!!!!!!!!! :lolots:
The cast was full of win though... truly a wonderful ensemble cast.

"Arrested Development" Set For 2013 Netflix Release
Just a month removed from revealing plans for a shortened-season return, more details regarding new "Arrested Development" episodes has been made public.
The series, which stars Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Michael Cera and Portia de Rossi, is releasing the new material via Netflix in 2013.
The official statement with all of the specifics is as follows:
"In a landmark deal, all new episodes of the Emmy Award-winning comedy series "Arrested Development" will be coming exclusively to Netflix for its U.S. members to watch instantly, beginning in 2013.
For the first time in their histories, Twentieth Century Fox Television and Imagine Television will produce original first-run entertainment content for the world's leading internet subscription service, bringing back the acclaimed series to production on all new episodes five years after its cancellation.
One of Time Magazine's "100 Best TV Shows of All-TIME," the tale of the formerly wealthy, deeply eccentric Bluth clan aired for three seasons, 2003-2006, on Fox and was honored with the Emmy award for Outstanding Comedy Series after its first season on the air.
"Arrested Development is one of the finest American comedies in TV history and its return through Netflix is a perfect example of how we are working closely with studios and networks to provide consumers with entertainment they love," said Ted Sarandos, Netflix Chief Content Officer.
"It's also a perfect example of how broad and successful our relationship has become with Fox as we work together with their film, television, international and digital divisions on several exciting initiatives," he added.
"Netflix's bold entrance into original programming presents an exciting new opportunity for our two companies" commented Peter Levinsohn, Fox Filmed Entertainment's President of New Media & Digital Distribution. "Bringing a classic show back to production on new episodes exclusively for Netflix customers is a game changer, and illustrates the incredible potential the new digital landscape affords great content providers like Twentieth Century Fox Television and Imagine."
Commented 20th Century Fox TV Chairmen Dana Walden and Gary Newman, "We build brands at this studio which are so distinctive that audiences still clamor for them years after they go off the air. 'Arrested Development' is a great example of thatit has stood the test of time. This innovative deal with Netflix represents a new business model that is extremely exciting and opens the door for a wide range of new collaborations."
"We also pride ourselves on breaking the rules at this studio, and after bringing back two canceled series 'Family Guy' and 'Futurama'to enormous success, we are bullish on the prospects for this brilliant series. We can't wait to get back to work with Mitch, Ron and Brian on bringing the Bluths back to America's living rooms," they added.
Said Imagine Entertainment co-founders Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, "Of all the projects we've been involved with over the years, we probably get more questions about Mitch Hurtwitz's brilliant 'Arrested Development' than any other everyone, ourselves included, seems to feel like the Bluths left the party a bit too soon. Bringing a series back from cancellation almost never happens, but then, 'Arrested' always was about as unconventional as they get, so it seems totally appropriate that this show that broke the mold is smashing it to pieces once again."
Added Howard, "After a long hiatus, I'm dying to finally get back to the narrator's microphone...'It's Arrested...Development.'"
The Emmy-winning comedy had its final broadcast on February 10, 2006 and concerned Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) and his eccentric family comprised of his son George Michael (Michael Cera), his father George Bluth Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor), his mother Lucille (Jessica Walter), his brothers George Oscar Bluth II (Will Arnett), Buster Bluth (Tony Hale) and sister Lindsay Funke (Portia de Rossi), and Lindsay's husband Tobias (David Cross) and their daughter Maeby (Alia Shawkat).
"Arrested Development" is a production of Imagine Television and 20th Century Fox Television. Ron Howard, Brian Grazer and Mitch Hurwitz are executive producers."

Jason Bateman tweeted: "Netflix is gassing up the staircar! I don't think I've ever been happier to wear a pair of khakis."
I love how much the cast loves this show! I saw the NYer Festival panel (edit: online. Not lucky enough to go in person!) with all of the cast and they really seem to love the show as much as the fans do!
