Prospects are looking grim for the erstwhile ABC comedy.
Netflix has told CNBC that they’d like to commission another season of Arrested Development if the cast is willing.
When Netflix announced it would be premiering Hemlock Grove to follow its uber-successful hit House of Cards, the buzz was tremendous. The trailer for the show only added to the frenzy.

Arrested Development fans, get excited!
