Mitchell was born in 1963 in Anaheim, California. He graduated from Estancia High School in Costa Mesa, CA, and from Georgetown University in 1985 with a double major in English and Theology.

In the late '80s Hurwitz moved in Hollywood and began working as a writer and producer in sitcoms. Among other shows, he wrote 9 episodes and produced 24 episodes of The Golden Girls, worked as executive producer and writer on both The John Larroquette Show and The Ellen Show and worked as consulting producer of Less Than Perfect. In 2002 Mitch was asked by Ron Howard to develop a sitcom about a disfunctional family and Arrested Development was the result.

He is involved in the series resurrection and was a executive producer and writer of Season Four. He is currently in the process of preparing an Arrested Development fifth season or a movie.
