Abstract

This is a story about a TV series that was abruptly cancelled and about the streaming service that brought it from the ashes. Arrested Development was a TV series exhibited between 2003 and 2006 by FOX channel, an open TV channel, and that has been recognized for investing in narrative and stylistic strategies that are unusual in sitcoms, as a more realistic staging and metafictional dramatic arch. The cancellation of the series provoked bustle in the fans, who stayed years dreaming about its return on online communities and networks. Netflix made the dream come true, brought back the series and put on the agenda the future of serial audiovisual fiction. The aim of this paper is to show how the narrative structure of the new season has amplified the synchronic fruition of television to the diachronic manipulation of history, usual to the internet. This is Arrested Development.
