Fox television show, Arrested Development ran from 2003 to 2006, and released only three seasons before being canceled. Since its cancellation, a massively large cult following began to grow. After it's cancellation, many rumours arroused, ranging from a "secret" new season being developed, to a major motion picture being developed. Recently, the rumour of a new season being released has come true.
Season 4 of Arrested Development will be released directly on Netflix, without being aired on television. Reportedly, all ten episodes are to be released at once. This seems to be conducive to the viewing nature of Netflix; people will watch entire seasons of shows during a single day, rather than watching a single episode of a show once a week.
Does this mean Netflix will soon be in the business of being the sole medium for certain shows? Will we see other canceled shows with large cult followings making a comeback? If we do, will they all go the route of Netflix, or be released on their network of origin?
