According to Variety ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT creator Mitch Hurwitz says he will not be continuing with the series, throwing a major — likely fatal — monkey wrench into attempts to keep the Emmy-winning laffer alive for a fourth season. Apparently, the deal for Arrested to air on Showtime was contingent on Hurwitz remaining with the show as showrunner. It looks like this may be the end for one of Television’s most brilliant comedies.
