Netflix unarrests 'Arrested''s development

[demmiblue]

Emmy-winning cult sitcom "Arrested Development" is being revived with all-new episodes, thanks in part to Netflix's continuing push toward becoming an HBO-like purveyor of original content.

Netflix announced yesterday that Twentieth Century Fox Television and Imagine Television will produce an unspecified number of brand-new episodes that will start streaming exclusively for Netflix subscribers in the U.S. beginning in 2013.

Earlier this year, Netflix signed a deal with "Social Network" and "Fight Club" director David Fincher for an original series called "House of Cards," starring Kevin Spacey.

The moves are in part efforts to ensure the continued health of Netflix's streaming business as content grows harder to come by. In September, premium movie channel Starz said it would pull its content from Netflix streams when the current deal between the two companies expires, in February.
