Jeffrey Tambor To Return To 'Arrested Development' Despite Harassment Allegations

Jeffrey Tambor​ is confirmed to appear in the upcoming season of Arrested Development​ despite harassment allegations which saw the actor sacked from the award-winning series, Transparent​, earlier this year. 

As Deadline reports, a Netflix spokesperson confirmed Tambor's involvement in the forthcoming fifth season of the acclaimed comedy, in which he stars as George Bluth Sr.

Tambor, who won a Golden Globe in 2015 for his portrayal of Maura Pfefferman in Transparent,​ was officially fired from the Amazon series in February following an investigation into multiple sexual harassment allegations made against the 73-year-old. 

During that time, fellow Arrested Development​ actor David Cross said the cast "stand behind" Tambor. 

A premiere date for the new season is yet to be announced, however creator Mitch Hurwitz announced earlier this week that it is coming to Netflix "real soon", while a "remix" of season four also dropped on the streaming service this week.
