'Arrested Development': "Recut" Episodes Lead to Pay Dispute | THR News

Arrested Development fans are excited for the show's return to Netflix with its fifth season. However, the actors are unhappy with the recut of the fourth season, which expanded from 15 to 22 episodes. They are seeking additional compensation, as the recut could lead to a lucrative syndication deal. The recut season includes unaired content and aligns more with the original Fox format. Despite the potential for increased revenue, the actors argue that their pay per episode has effectively decreased. The series aims to reach the episode count needed for syndication, with the fifth season debuting on May 29th.
