Netflix Hides OG ‘Arrested Development’ S4 So You 100% Watch The Remix

Mates, cast your mind back to the edgy era of 2013. Season Four of Arrested Development was unleashed onto the world and was promptly met with mixed reactions. A shit ton of people loved it while a horde of haters gathered their pitch-forks and virtually stabbed away at the series via their twitters.

Ah, the memories.

Unlike the other seasons, S4 had fifteen slightly longer episodes where each one concentrated on a different character. Long story short, the fandom was divided. But that’s five-year-old news now (ooffft) because the remixed version of S4 is now streaming on Netflix and yes, fans reckon it’s doing exceptionally well. So good in fact, it’s appeared to have cancelled out the original season four which has magically disappeared from the ‘seasons’ toggle bar.

But first:

Show creator Mitch Hurwitz announced the news of rejigged season, Fateful Consequences, earlier this week. After five years, Hurwitz announced the much anticipated remix would hit Netflix on Friday and as much as you wanted to be petty from the waiting time, you couldn’t because the release coincided with Cinco de Cuatro and Will Arnett’s 48th birthday.

Smooth, Hurwitz, smooth.

You can chuck a suss to the announcement below.

Season Five, Season Five, Season Five…

Anywhoo, the remixed season consists of 22 episodes with events now set in chronological order. Each ep also features all your fave characters which is a major thumbs up.

As you can guess, fans have been sweetly binge-watching away and so far so damn good.

But all this fun aside, if you hop onto Netflix and get AD up, you’ll notice the OG S4 has been completely replaced with the remixed one. This potentially sucks if you were doing a re-binge and now feel slightly unsatisfied (me).

Um, rude.

Although, Netflix didn’t completely get rid of it. It’s just hiding in the irrelevant section AKA Trailers & More sans their episode descriptions because apparently the OG S4 is now just ‘more’. 

Um, rude x 2?

For chronological sake, they could’ve slid it in right after the OG season but I guess not.

That’s one way to make sure we definitely watch the remix.
