Bateman and Arnett share a long history of working together with each other and this is what excites the fans the most. The chemistry they share is absolutely fantastic. But before the release of their Murderville episode, here are 5 things that you should know about them.

Netflix released 6 episodes of Murderville in a row on February 3. These episodes starred celebrities like Conan O’Brien, Annie Murphy, Sharon Stone, and Kumail Nanjiani. There was a huge gap of almost 10 months, after which the show is bringing its fans a Christmas special where Arnett will be working with his old co-star Bateman.

The reason behind Jason not appearing in the first season of the show was his busy schedule. He was proposed to be on the show but the dates were not aligned, plus he was busy promoting his superhit show Ozark back then.

But he did not delay for a second as he got free and did the social episode of Murderville with Arnett.

These two stars have worked together on Netflix’s Arrested Development for a long period of 16 years. Although the show did not run for that long period, it aired in 5 installments, beginning from the year 2003 and finally ending in 2019. Since these two have such a long experience working together, this special episode of Murderville will surely be special.

The answer to this question is yes, these two very talented stars have worked together in a different show while starring in Arrested Development. Beginning with Arrested Development, which ran over the course of 16 years, these two later worked as voiceover artists in the animated Fox series Sit Down, Shut Up. According to Screenrant, they also produced a documentary called Mansome.
