<p>"I think people will be surprised, in a sense, where everybody is and the story," Muniz said. "It's hard to fit in 20 years of stuff into four 30-minute episodes, right? But I think people are going to be very happy with what they came up with."</p>
<p>Muniz beamed when discussing his return to the early-aughts family sitcom, describing his experience shooting the reboot as "the best time of my entire life."</p>
<p>"I'm not exaggerating when I say filming this reboot, like I loved it so much, way more than I ever thought I could have," he said. "We ended in May, and I haven't talked to anybody since, you know what I mean? I've been gone. I've only been home, I think, for 12 days since the beginning of the year. I'm just always crazy, and I think next week, I'm going to have time. I'm going to reach out [to the rest of the cast]."</p>
<p>The original "Malcolm in the Middle" ran for 151 episodes across seven seasons from 2000 to 2006. The four-part reboot sees Muniz reunited with original cast members Bryan Cranston, Jane Kaczmarek, Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield.</p>
<p>Erik Per Sullivan, who played the youngest Wilkerson child, Dewy, did not return for the new episodes. The role was instead played by Caleb Ellsworth-Clark. Other new cast members include Kiana Madeira, Anthony Timpano, Vaughan Murrae and Keeley Karsten.</p>
<p>In an interview with People, Cranston said he "missed" playing Hal Wilkerson and loved returning to the world of "Malcolm in the Middle."</p>
<p>"It's been almost 20 years since we said goodbye," he said. "And he's a sweet, lovable man. He's a lovable guy, and it was fun to see my whole family back together. It was great."</p>
<p>The official logline for the reboot reads, "Malcolm and his daughter are drawn into the family's chaos when Hal and Lois demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party."</p>
