This will be interest to watch, from a business point of view.
Arrested Development is coming back, but as a Netflix production. This is an experiment, but was the production of TV shows by cable only companies at one point in time. It could be a look at the next wave of TV.

Netflix to revive Arrested Development
The online streaming service is bringing back the show for subscribers from 2013. It was originally broadcast on US channel Fox from 2003-2006.
The show about the dysfunctional Californian Bluth family won critical acclaim, six Emmy awards and a Golden Globe, but was cancelled after disappointing ratings over its three seasons.
The cast, starring Jason Bateman and Michael Cera, was already expected to reunite after creator Mitchell Hurwitz said a film was to be made and that several spin-off shows would follow.
The film director Ron Howard narrated the series, and was also its executive producers. He told the BBC in January that there was "a real desire on the creative team's part" to work on new material.
Netflix, which is America’s leading online film and TV subscription service, has announced it will launch in the UK “in early 2012”. The site claims it will offer “unlimited TV shows and films streaming instantly” to TVs and computers, but has not yet released what its launch price will be.
