As a child, Cera played George Michael Bluth on the acclaimed sitcom from 2003 until she was hired in 2006. The series was revived by Netflix in 2013 and ran for two more seasons, the second of which was released in two seasons.

“Yeah, it sure isn’t that much fun,” Cera said. “Obviously the first time we were on network television together, it was a very different experience.
“I think a big part of this show was based on the chemistry between the cast – and backed by those amazing lyrics. That was the oven that really made it happen and it was a challenge not having that energy in the other seasons.”
