Video: Arrested Development - Season Four trailer - Telegraph Arrested Development is returning this month after a seven-year absence. As the music in this 90-second trailer shows, it really is the final countdown and the excitement among the cult American comedy's cultish fans is palpable. The comedy, which first aired in 2003 and follows the highly dysfunctional Bluth family, has won six Emmy's and a Golden Globe, but was cancelled in 2006 and its creator, Mitchell Hurwitz, said he didn't feel he could continue the series further in a weekly episodic style. This probably explains why Arrested Development's revival is happening via Netflix, the online TV-on-demand streaming service, which will offer up all 15 new episodes at once. Each episode will focus on a different character and their experience of the same events. The trailer sees the major characters still involved, some a little older - awkwardly close cousins George Michael (Michael Cera) and Maeby Fünke (Alia Shawkat), who were young teenagers in the first series are now at college - if not wiser: foolish magician Gob destructs part of a kitchen worktop while trying to open a bottle of lemonade. There are also cameo roles from a vulture and an ostrich.
