Hurwitz and the cast reunited for a panel at The New Yorker Festival in New York City in October, where they announced -- with assistance from show producer Ron Howard via telephone -- that a new season of the show would be created as a prelude to the much-awaited "AD" movie.
The episodes will serve to update fans on what the Bluth family members have been up to since the Fox series was canceled in 2006. Hurwitz said each episode will focus on updating an individual Bluth's life, leading into the movie, which will focus on the entire cast.
