Is ‘Arrested Development’ Ending On Netflix? We Can Only Hope

Appearing on the Late Night with Seth Meyers Podcast (via IndieWire), Cross said: “I’ve learned to say ’never say never,’ but I can’t see it happening again, I think for a number of reasons.” Cross didn’t elaborate on those reasons, but they’re easy to guess. For one thing, star Jeffrey Tambor has faced several sexual harassment allegations from on the set of Transparent. For another, the press tour for the first half of season 5 was a bit of a disaster. During a New York Times interview, the male members of the cast all excused, or even defended, some of Tambor’s abusive behavior on the Arrested Development set (something Cross later apologized for). And lastly, the show just isn’t that good anymore. The magic is gone, and it would probably be for the best to let the show come to a merciful end.
