Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz has teased the upcoming sequel to the beloved sitcom, saying that fans will be "very happy" with the results.

During an appearance in a recent episode of Lightweights Podcast, the actor opened up about the return of the show, where he will reprise the lead role two decades after the events of the finale.

"It’s hard to fit in 20 years of stuff in four 30-min episodes, but I think people are gonna be very happy with what they came up with," the actor reassured fans.

"Reuniting with the cast, getting to know some new characters, laughing till it hurt, and making new memories on set felt like a dream I didn’t want to wake up from. It went by so fast, like a blur of perfect moments. I wish it could go on forever," Muniz wrote on X back in May.
