The show ran for four seasons on Fox, from 1999 to 2003. Following popular reruns on Comedy Central, it was revived for three more seasons that aired from 2009 to 2013 before getting cancelled once again. In 2022, Hulu announced it was reviving the series, with a new season hitting the streaming service last year. Abrams’ book comes timed for the new season on Hulu and the show’s 25th anniversary.
