From the Hollywood Reporter :
No deals have yet been finalized, but a single-camera project from "Arrested Development" creator/executive producer Mitch Hurwitz, co-star Will Arnett and co-executive producer Jim Vallely is expected to receive a pilot order from the FOX network soon, pending a switch on the studio side.
Sony TV, which originally developed the show with Hurwitz's Tantamount production company, pulled out, with Lionsgate TV stepping in to back the high-priced comedy.
The untitled half-hour, originally picked up by FOX in August with a script commitment, was written by Hurwitz, Arnett and Vallely. It stars Arnett as a rich Beverly Hills jackass who falls in love with a charitable tree-hugging woman who can't stand his lifestyle or values.
The project stems from the development pact that Arnett signed with FOX in October.
Hurwitz is executive producing with his producing partners at Tantamount, Eric Tannenbaum and Kim Tannenbaum; Vallely; and Peter Principato and Paul Young. Arnett also serves as a producer.
