'Arrested Development': Clip From New Season Released
Fans of "Arrested Development" are rabidly gearing up for the new season to air on Netflix on May 26, and in order to whet their appetites, a clip from an upcoming episode has been released to the public.
The snippet was released exclusively to Entertainment Weekly, and features Buster (Tony Hale) and Lucille (Jessica Walter) engaging in some mother/son bonding that -- as per usual -- crosses significant boundaries.
The clip was first screened at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour and SXSW.
Before we knew for sure that the new season was happening, producer Ron Howard had to tweet out pictures of the writers room in order to convince fans that it wasn't all just a big hoax. Photos have also slowly been leaked from the set.
Support for LAist comes from
David Cross, who plays Tobias Funke, has said that the new season will be "historical."
The entire Buster/Lucille clip can be watched here.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
