October 27, 2006 - Though Arrested Development's fans still mourn the loss of the wonderful series, word has come that Arrested's creator Mitchell Hurwitz has begun developing his follow up project. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hurwitz and former Arrested writer Richard Day have signed with Sony to begin work on a US version of The Thick of It, an adaptation of a well-received British comedy series.

The original version was about a continually harassed member of Parliament, who had to deal with inept bureaucrats under the thumb of a number of politicians and civil servants, including the prime minister. The series won the British Comedy Award for best comedy.

Sony is currently shopping the potential series to networks, while Day begins writing the pilot script. Day and Hurwitz will both serve as executive producers.

Let's hope for the best. How I miss AD :(

I'm glad that he's got something new out, but I wish companies would stop "adapting" other countries' sitcoms. :-\

You can't be serious :$
