Minor spoilers ahead for Arrested Development season four, and somewhat larger spoilers for season three.Saturday Night Live

and Bridesmaids star Kristen Wiig's rumored appearance in the upcoming, Netflix-produced fourth season of Arrested Development is now confirmed, with the role tipped to Vulture earlier tonight. Last chance to turn back. The actor, who starred alongside Arrested Development lead Jason Bateman in Extract and Paul, will reportedly play a younger version of Jessica Walter's Lucille Bluth, Bateman's mother and the family's criminal mastermind. As the original story points out, though (via the same embed--ironically from Netflix's competitor Hulu--that we've got below), Wiig is a bit of a seasoned hand at playing the ham-fisted, aging alcoholic, so the role (which will be played by Archer's Jessica Walter in the current day) may be perfect for her. Whether Seth Rogen, who was also reported as a guest star earlier today, will portray a young George Bluth is yet to be seen.
