After almost a year of waiting, the second half of Arrested Development Season 5 is finally here. Clear out your weekend: you’ll need some time to fire up the corn baller and blue yourself while watching one of the most brilliantly absurd shows ever created.

The beloved comedy originally ran on Fox for three seasons from 2003 to 2006. Roughly seven years after its cancellation, Netflix gave the Bluths another shot. Arrested Development Season 4 was one of Netflix’s first original series, its first revived series, and the first major reason Netflix had for why its subscribers should take its original content seriously. And last year Netflix brought its revived series back once more for Season 5, the second half of which premiered this month.

If you need a refresher on what happened during Arrested Development Season 5 Part 1, we have you covered. Now on to more pressing questions. What exactly is going on with the Bluth family’s future?

Is Arrested Development Season 6 Out Now?

Not exactly. Netflix divided Arrested Development Season 5 into two parts. The first part was released last spring, and Season 5 Part 2 has been released now.

Will There Be an Arrested Development Season 6?

At the moment the answer to that is unclear. Netflix has yet to announce plans for any additional episodes. But don’t hold your breath for a new season.

While on the Late Night with Seth Meyers Podcast actor David Cross doubted that the series would continue after Season 5, saying “I’ve learned to say ‘Never say never,’ but I can’t see it happening again, I think for a number of reasons.” Arrested Development has always been a notoriously difficult series to revive thanks to its large cast of big-name stars. The fact that Netflix was able to pull everyone together again for a fifth season already feels like a miracle.

What Time Does Arrested Development Come Out?

The second half of Arrested Development Season 5 premiered on Netflix Friday, March 15. That means you can watch the full season right now.

Who’s in the Arrested Development Season 5 Cast?

All of your favorites are back in the second half of Season 5. These final episodes mostly focus on Michael (Jason Bateman), George Michael (Michael Cera), Lucille (Jessica Walter), George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor), Buster (Tony Hale), G.O.B. (Will Arnett), Maeby (Alia Shawkat), and Tobias (David Cross). Portia de Rossi’s Lindsay Bluth does make an appearance in this new installment, but her return is a bit of a surprise.

It’s not just the Bluths who are back this time around. Beloved fan favorites like the incompetent lawyer Barry Zuckerkorn (Henry Winkler) and the Bluth’s hairless rivals the Sitwells (Ed Begley Jr. and Christine Taylor) are also in this season. Likewise newer characters like Tobias’ meth-addicting love interest DeBrie (Maria Bamford) and surprise son Murphy Brown (Kyley Mooney) make appearances.

There are even some new faces in the mix. In a surprising twist, Cobie Smulders and Taran Killam play alternate versions of Lucille and George Sr. and the great Jean Smart makes a cameo. It’s a whirlwind of new and old faces, but they all have one thing in common: these actors are going to make you laugh.
