Magic is bound to happen when Ben Stiller's Tony Wonder makes a guest appearance on "Arrested Development" during the new season of the resurrected sitcom.

The news comes from [url="http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/02/26/arrested-development-ben-stiller/"]EW.com[/url], who report that the Wonder-ful Stiller will only appear (and disappear) in one episode of the show, which premieres on Netflix in May. Additional details on how his latest tricks will affect the Bluth family's resident magic man, GOB, are still unknown.

Stiller, who previously appeared on the series, joins already announced season 4 guest stars, Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Conan O'Brien, Isla Fisher, and John Slattery, who are all set to stop by the model home for the highly-anticipated, Netflix-only run of the cult-loved sitcom.



In other "Arrested Development" news, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings shared that the revived series is likely only to run for one season. [url="http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2013/02/arrested-developments-netflix-run-will-be-one-season-only"]Complex[/url] reports that Hastings opened up about the show at a tech conference in San Francisco, sharing, "It's a fantastic one-off. Think of it as a non-repeatable amazing. [Original programming] may be the center of PR for a while and that's OK, but I don't want you guys to think that suddenly we're the original content company."

While fans might only get this last chance to spend time with TV's wackiest family, it's bound to be as bananas (stand) as ever. Last August, the show's producer and narrator Ron Howard gave MTV News [url="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1691785/arrested-development-netflix-revival.jhtml"]some details about reuniting[/url] for what seems to be the last time.

"[Show creator] Mitch [Hurwitz] isn't trying to recreate something," Howard said. "It's been away for a while, and part of the fun that Mitch has been mining and exploiting is, what's new to discover about these people? What's delightfully unchanged? He and the writing staff and the actors have a fantastic sense of that. They're pretty brazen, pretty bold and fearless. That's what made the show into something that fans really kept alive."

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
