The Bluth family is finally back together, and you know that means chaotic entertainment. Netflix just dropped the official trailer for season five of Arrested Development including the the release date.

The majority of the trailer shows some of the most memorable scenes from the past four seasons with narrator Ron Howard saying: “It seems a lot has changed over the years… Well, not everything.” We do find out some new things. Lindsay (Portia de Rossi) is launching her campaign for Congress, Maeby (Alia Shawkat) dyed her color gray and Buster (Tony Hale) has a new robotic hand. But most importantly, the Bluths are in the running for the ‘Family of the Year award.’

Season five of Arrested Development will have 17 episodes and is scheduled for release on May 29th on Netflix.

“In the aftermath of Cinco de Quatro, the Bluth family are all facing one question, that no one quite has the answer to; where is Lucille Two? As this Netflix (semi) original series returns on May 29th, the Bluths are back together, and finally getting the award they think they deserve—for family of the year. A development which will help Lindsay as she begins her campaign for Congress, to become ‘part of the problem’. But whatever happens, Michael will always come back to save the family. Probably.”

To ease the wait for the new episodes of Arrested Development, Netflix recently decided to release a recut of series’ fourth season by creator Mitch Hurwitz titled Arrested Development Season 4 Remix: Fateful Consequences.
