James Lipton is going back inside "Arrested Development."

TV Guide Magazine reports the venerable host of Bravo's "Inside The Actor's Studio" will be reprising his role as Warden Stefan Gentles in the new season of "Arrested Development" on Netflix.

"I went out to California for a week and already shot the show -- I absolutely love it!" Lipton told TV Guide Magazine.

Lipton joins an impressive roster of "Arrested" Season 4 guest stars that includes Conan O'Brien, Andy Richter, John Slattery, Liza Minnelli, Carl Weathers, Isla Fisher and Terry Crews.
