"Arrested Development" Cast Announces Return, Talks Tobias Funke's 'Stache + Other Amazing Things You Never Knew About The Show

"The scene opens with a group of scientists in lab coats waiting for somebody. Buster comes through the doors wearing a white lab coat, and they say, 'well, you don't get to wear the lab coat. We're experimenting on you.' From there, we meet the people in Buster's life, including his therapist, Dr. Tobias Funke. By the end of the episode, we would reach a 'point of peril' in Buster's life, and then jump over to say Maebe, who is living with Cornel West." -Mitch Hurwitz

According to the panel discussion, the goal of the reunion will be to have nine "spin-off" episodes before the reunion movie, with each episode featuring one of the beloved characters and catching you up on what's been happening in their lives since the successful conclusion of "Operation Hot Brother" at the end of Season Three. This would presumably allow Hurwitz to work more smoothly around the creative schedules of his now quite successful cast, and prime the audience for the upcoming movie. As if we needed convincing.
