Goodbye Arrested Development

In the end the Bluth’s found a good home, but the real patriarch of Arrested Development didn’t feel he could live there.  Mitch Hurwitz, the creator of Arrested Development, has decided not to continue on as showrunner, a role that had he chosen to take, would have landed Arrested Development on Showtime.  A deal was in place to move AD from Fox to Showtime, but only if Mitch Hurwtiz stayed on board.  Mitch Hurwitz told Variety that his involvement with Arrested Development is over.

The fans have been so ardent in their devotion and in return … I’ve given everything I can to the show in order to try to live up to their expectations,” Hurwitz told Daily Variety on Monday. “I finally reached a point where I felt I couldn’t continue to deliver that on a weekly basis.”

Does this mean the end of the Bluth’s?  Pretty much…yeah.  But will we see them reunited on the big screen someday?  Hurwitz hinted that it could be a possibility.
