The premiere date of "Arrested Development" season five will be pushed back, but all is well as more plot hints and spoilers have been given by people on the show.

According to Deadline, the release of the fifth season will see a slight delay due to scheduling conflicts with the cast members. As a result, some plot ideas will have to be altered or completely scrapped out. For instance, the original plan for George (played by Jeffrey Tambor) was for him to become a woman

In season four, "Arrested Development" fans saw the Bluths claim plans to set up a wall between the United States and Mexico to keep Mexicans from illegally entering the country. Three years later, Donald Trump reveals plans to carry out the fictional plan after announcing his bid for the presidential seat.

Season four ended with Buster getting arrested, as enforcers suspect him to be the murderer of Lucille Austero. With buster's arrest setting up the plot for season 5, reports say that show creator Mitch Hurtwitz plans to make the show a spoof of the recent crime hit, "Making a Murderer," considering that Hurtwitz is such a huge fan of the show.

"Arrested Development" is an American comedy series following the Bluth family, who are marked by extravagant and eccentric living. The show has received mostly positive reviews as fans have loved following the quirkiness and crazy adventures of the members of the Bluth clan. Rotten Tomatoes gives the show an average Tomatometer score of 89 percent, with the first season receiving a perfect 100 percent.

The show stars Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Will Arnett, Michael Cera, Alia Shawkat, Tony Hale, David Cross, Jeffrey Tambor and Jessica Walter. Originally distributed by Fox, the show was transferred to Netflix in 2013.

"Arrested Development" season 5 will be released in the latter part of 2016.
