Arrested Development Season 4 Will Include Andy Richter And Conan O'Brien

As though we didn't have enough reasons to look forward to the return of Arrested Development, now we can add Conan O'Brien and Andy Richter to the list. AD star Will Arnett appeared on Conan's TBS talk show last night and the topic of the once-Fox, now-Netflix comedy series came up, which was when Arnett casually dropped the news that O'Brien and Richter would be a part of the fourth season in some way.

You can watch the video below, which has Arnett chatting with Andy and Conan about Arrested Development's upcoming fourth season, which is due to arrive on Netflix at some point next year. After name-dropping a certain Boss when discussing people's interest in the show's return, he gets to the announcement about Conan and Andy appearing on the show.

"I don't want to give away too much. I don't want this to be too much of a spoiler alert, but let me put it this way. There are a few people on this stage tonight who are a part of it. And I think we know who we are," Arnett coyly states, then later - as though to make sure it's perfectly clear, he says it's "us," pointing to the three of them.

Andy Richter appeared in Arrested Development's third season, so this will be a return to the series for him, while it'll be Conan O'Brien's first appearance on the series. Of course, we're left to wonder who they'll be playing (if not themselves), and this is just one more reason to be glad the show is being resurrected!
