Looks like the banana stand is staying open!

Arrested Development is currently in talks with Netflix to come back for a fifth season, executive producer Brian Grazer revealed on Thursday during an interview with Bloomberg Television at the Allen & Co. conference in Sun Valley, Idaho. 

"We are in conversations with them to do another," Grazer spilled. "They are interested in doing that." Another family reunion with the Bluths? Yes, please!

Executive producer and creator Mitch Hurwitz recently said he's "game" for a fifth season, but insisted, "I don't have a timeline yet. If there's more, I promise you we will put a date out there."

The cult favorite returned in May with its highly anticipated fourth season, which was met with mixed reviews. "I try to have a pretty open attitude about it. Everybody wants to be loved all the time; it's not realistic," Hurwitz said of the response to the new format. 

Netflix recently ordered second seasons of original series Orange Is the New Black, Hemlock Grove and House of Cards.

The video streaming site has yet to respond to requests for comment.
