When Arrested Development returns for season 5, the show’s plot will revolve around a murder-mystery concerning Liza Minnelli’s Lucille 2, who is presumed dead after disappearing during season 4.
Speaking to EW‘s Sirius XM channel, Arrested Development star Jason Bateman confirmed earlier reports that season 5 will concern itself with the mystery of Lucille 2’s death and who may have killed her.
In his interview with EW, Bateman reiterated that the Arrested Development cast will get to spend more time on-screen together in season 5 after being broken up during season 4 due to scheduling conflicts.
Complicating matters was the fact that Lucille 2’s body disappeared in soap opera fashion after being discovered.
