"On Friday, April 10th, the Malcolm in the Middle family explodes back onto (Hulu) on Disney+ with Life's Still Unfair... and the exact same day, I'm strapping in and driving the Malcolm in the Middle truck at Bristol Motor Speedway," Muniz wrote on X.
"My childhood. My chaos. My racing life. All smashing together at 150+ mph on one of the wildest tracks on the planet. This isn't just a crossover. This is two completely different chapters of my life colliding head-on in the most insane, beautiful, full send way possible.
"Dewey would lose his mind. Lois would be screaming. Hal would already be on fire. This one's for every fan who grew up with Malcolm and every fan who's watched me chase this racing dream."
Muniz's character first hit television screens in 2000 with the debut of the original Malcolm in the Middle. This series highlighted his family and their "unique" day-to-day lives, and it ran for 151 episodes.
Now, the family will return to screens 20 years later with Life's Still Unfair. This series finds Muniz's character living a quiet life with his daughter and girlfriend. But then he has to reconnect with his immediate family.
All four episodes of the revival will land on Hulu on Friday. Each episode will become available at 3 a.m. ET/midnight PT.
More than 16 hours later, Muniz will then strap into his No. 33 Ford F-150 to compete at Bristol Motor Speedway for the second time in the Craftsman Truck Series. He will do so while showcasing the unique scheme featuring his "family."
