The Fox comedy originally aired from 2000 to 2006 and earned seven Emmys during its seven-season run. The series also starred Christopher Kennedy Masterson, Justin Berfield and Erik Per Sullivan, though it's unclear if they'll return for the revival.
Cranston first teased a possible reunion in 2020, saying for "no other reason than I miss those people like crazy."
"I'd love to," the "Breaking Bad" alum told E! News at the time. "We want to start talking about the possibility of putting together a story that makes sense about that family, 10 years later, or whatever—12 years later. It's not unheard of."
Two years later, Muniz confirmed that Cranston was "heading writing the script and getting everything rolling," adding, "So there might be something."
Muniz went on to say he "would be down, 100 percent"—especially since he's now a fan of the show himself.
"When I was filming the show, I obviously was a kid," he said. "We did seven seasons, 151 episodes. I didn't really watch the show when it was on, but I've now since watched the show with my wife. We [watched] all 151 episodes, and I realized, 'Wow, that's what we were making.' I can separate myself from being on it and watching it as a fan. I would love to know what the family's up to."
