Netflix made it's first mini-series starring Kevin Spacey, and is now reviving the series "Arrested Development" after 5 years in cancellation.

The move has spawned a rash of speculation as to which cult favorite series might be revivied.

Any favorites out there? Keep in mind that as Nathan Fillion's approaches 100 episodes of Castle, he is now earning $100 Thousand Per Episode

So not Firefly then... :)

Wasn't Lillehammer Netflix's own production as well?

I wonder who and what next into this space, if they can prove it a different, yet viable method of mass media distribution?

LillyHammer (deliberately mispelled) was the first Netflix TV series

The stars of Arrested Development are all very successful in general, but they are not attached to a running TV series, and most of them may not be available for the Netflix reboot (Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Will Arnett, and Michael Cera).

Nathan Fillion's TV show has the second highest number of episodes of any scripted show on ABC. Usually at this point the star gets a lot of money because the show will sell in syndication. It would be difficult for him to make a second tv series.

But there is a possibility that Netflix may make movies as well.

I would have suspected that Firefly/Serenity as a series of moves might more sense than a TV show.

I do watch all my TV through Netflix now, but the major advantage is watching a lot of the stuff that's filter through time and got some critical acclamation (friends or professional).

It looks like the first series have already been picked out. Only "Arrested Development" will be a continuation of network series.
