Fans eagerly awaiting the return of Arrested Development on Netflix can now actually set their calenders: the Banana Stand will be open for business on May 4th, 2013.

The good news has been hard to believe from the beginning. The show has seen so many rumors of a comeback and false starts, that it only began to feel real as pictures leaked from the set.  But even then, the show’s release was noted suspiciously only as “sometime in 2013.”

Along with the release date, a list of episode titles was leaked, though it has been denied and taken down. However, the alleged titles support earlier rumors that each episode would center around one of the main characters:

• Michael 1
• Michael 2
• George Sr. 1
• George Sr. 2
• Lindsay 1
• Lindsay 2
• Tobias
• Gob
• Maeby
• Lucille
• Buster
• George Michael 1
• George Michael 2
• Gob 2

Why is there so much time between “Gob 1″ and “Gob 2″? Well, the creators of AD are very patient, and know how to let a joke run and develop over an entire season, even several years. It should be worth the wait.
