Aug 11 (IBNS) It is going to be a reunion of creators of ‘Arrested Development‘ at Fox Studios. The creator and executive producer Mitch Hurwitz, co-executive producer Jim Vallely and, co-star Will Arnett of the Emmy winning series have teamed up again to produce a single-camera Fox comedy.

Hollywood Reporter said that the script is being jointly written by Hurwitz, Arnett and Vallely and will star 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 comedy will be produced by Sony TV and studio-based Tantamount and will be the first project to materialize with the development pact that Arnett inked 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.

Arnett has also lent his voice to “Sit Down, Shut Up,” Hurwitz’s animated comedy which was created for Fox and Sony TV. Vallely had also served on the project as a co-exec producer.

Both Hurwitz and Vallely won two Emmys in the year 2005 for scripting the “Righteous Brothers” episode of “Developmentā€ while Arnett earned Emmy nominations for his role as part-time magician Gob Bluth on “Development” and for his recent recurring role on NBC’s “30 Rock.”
