We're all happy to finally be receiving a new season of Arrested Development after all this time - seven years! - but, if any of the episodes have some continuity issues, cut creator Mitch Hurwitz some slack: Scheduling times to film with the cast was harder than it sounds, so much of the season was filmed at different times with some actors even appearing against a green-screen so they could later be digitally added ton their scenes.

Judging from the trailer for season four, the season looks fine - Hurwitz even says he's grateful for the opportunity to have a new season and it should be fine, though he's quick to add that it also has never been watched back-to-back in one sitting, like the majority of Netflix users will be doing come this Sunday:

Really, as long as we have new episodes of this show, we're happy. Season four of Arrested Development will premiere on Netflix this Sunday, May 26th.
