Netflix: "Arrested Development" season 5 deals "plugging along"

There may be another season of "Arrested Development" after all. There's been a lot a talk about filming new episodes, but now it seems like it could be closer to happening.

Netflix, which aired a fourth season of the show in 2013, is planning to bring the cast, including Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi and Will Arnett together for more episodes, but Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos says the sticking point seems to be coordinating their busy schedules.

"We are plugging along," he said Tuesday at during the Television Critics Association summer meeting in Beverly Hills, California. "It's a very long complex deal to make for these guys because the talent is very busy and working on other shows, but also because the show is owned by Fox."

"Arrested Development" aired for three seasons on Fox until its cancellation in 2006.

The Television Critics Association features TV networks and streaming services presenting details on upcoming programs.
