Although he initially found Malcolm to be the worst character in the family, he fell in love with the role again after reading the new scripts. “I had the best time of my entire life filming these new episodes,” Muniz stated.
As for the other characters, Muniz hinted at some major surprises regarding their lives since the original series ended. “I think people will be surprised, in a sense, where everybody is and the story,” he said, raising anticipation for the series among long-time fans.
