News about the upcoming season of "Arrested Development" just keeps getting better. First, there was the initial announcement that the new season would be airing on May 26. Then, there was this clip, released last week and featuring gloriously awkward footage of Buster and Lucille sharing second-hand smoke with one another. Now, we get news that John Krasinski of "The Office" is going to appear in the season as well, alongside a host of other celebrities. EW.com reports that the actor will make a cameo, but that details about his role haven't been released just yet.
Also appearing in the new season will be Kristen Wiig, Conan O’Brien and Isla Fisher.
The season will air in its entirety on NetFlix on Sunday, May 26. It's been called "historical" by David Cross.
