The fifth and final season of the American television satirical sitcom series Arrested Development premiered on Netflix on May 29, 2018.[1] The season consists of 16 episodes, split into two eight-episode parts; with the second half released on March 15, 2019.[2][3] This is the second revival season after the series was canceled by Fox in 2006; the fourth season premiered in 2013.
The show's storyline centers on the Bluth family, a formerly wealthy, habitually dysfunctional family, and the show incorporates hand-held camera work, narration, archival photos and historical footage. One central storyline of the fifth season is a whodunit regarding the mysterious disappearance of Lucille Austero in the very midst of her congressional campaign. The season also features the cast together more frequently, as the fourth season primarily had the cast separated due to scheduling difficulties.[4]
