As well as a new teaser being released for fans, the launch date of the series has also been revealed, and there’s not long to wait. The Hulu four-episode miniseries will be released on Disney Plus on April 10. You can watch the brand new teaser below:

Muniz told People Magazine that he was “excited” for fans to see the new episodes, adding: "Twenty years ago, you film the first season, no one's ever seen it, you don't know if they're gonna like it, you don't know how people are gonna react to it.

“And then to have your seven years of success with it and now 20 years later, I can go anywhere in the world and people know Malcolm, right? They know the show, they love the show. They tell me how much it affected their lives and how much it meant to their families, how it brought them closer together."
