Netflix announced yesterday that it had signed a deal with Fox to develop new episodes of the cult classic show "Arrested Development."
The new episodes of the show, which was cancelled in 2006, will be available on the streaming service in the Q2 2013.
Fox and Imagine Television will co-produce the episodes and Netflix will back "some" of the production costs.
There are likely to be 9 new episodes, one for each of the main characters, before the long-awaited Arrested Development movie is released in theaters.
The move is in-line with Netflix's move towards original content. The service paid top-dollar to exclusively air the upcoming drama series "House of Cards" with Kevin Spacey.
