Finally, after a seven-year hiatus from television, "Arrested Development" returned for season 4 on Netflix. Every single one of the new season's episodes premiered on Netflix early Sunday morning at 3am Eastern, 12am Pacific. The shows return to TV has been heavily promoted by Netflix over the past few weeks. The famous Bluth Banana Stand even made stops in major cities around the world. Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Tony Hale, Portia De Rossi and others made the usual rounds to promote season 4. So far, reviews have been mixed with some loving the new season and some not impressed. However, one big question still remains, will there be an "Arrested Development" movie?

An "Arrested Development" movie was rumored ever since the show left Fox. You would think that with 15 new episodes the movie rumors would finally slow down. However, it seems as though season 4 has left viewers wanting more. So is the next step a movie? Well it sounds like there definitely still is a chance of a movie.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, it sounded as if Bateman, Arnett, and Hale were prepared for a movie. EW discussed with the stars an idea that series creator Mitchell Hurwitz apparently brought up. The idea was that another season of the TV show would set up a movie by going over the antics of each character over the last few years. "When he explained that the attempt to educate the uninitiated about the characters and the events that have gone on in the Bluth family would take up so much of the [movie's] time, and that a more efficient and interesting way to do that would be to throw that into episodes, then it made a lot of sense to me," Jason Bateman explained to EW.

Actress Portia De Rossi was on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" recently and it sounded like she was on board for a movie. However, the movie could still be over a year away according to an interview Bateman did with Rolling Stone.
