Get ready for a blast from the past! The stars of the iconic sitcom, 'Malcolm in the Middle', are back, and they look completely different!
Frankie Muniz, the beloved actor who played the titular Malcolm, has shared an exciting update with his fans. He posted a photo from the set of the upcoming revival, reuniting with his on-screen brothers, Justin Berfield and Christopher Masterson. Muniz, now 39, is all set to reprise his role as the brilliant yet quirky Malcolm. Joining him are Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek, who will once again portray Malcolm's parents, Hal and Lois.
But here's where it gets controversial... Erik Per Sullivan, who played the adorable youngest brother, Dewey, will not be returning for the reboot. His role will be taken over by Caleb Ellsworth-Clark, an actor known for his work in 'Fargo'. This decision has sparked debates among fans, leaving many wondering about the impact it will have on the show's dynamic.
'Malcolm in the Middle' originally aired on Fox for seven seasons, captivating audiences with its hilarious portrayal of a dysfunctional yet lovable working-class family. The show earned an impressive seven Emmy Awards, solidifying its place in television history.
Disney, the powerhouse behind the reboot, announced last year that the series would return for a four-episode miniseries. The official logline teases a story where Malcolm and his daughter, Leah (played by Keeley Karsten), find themselves entangled in the family's chaos once again.
Muniz's excitement is palpable as he shared a behind-the-scenes photo with his on-screen parents, captioned with a reference to the show's iconic theme song, 'Boss of Me'. He expressed his joy and missed his on-screen brothers.
In an interview, Muniz opened up about his return to acting after taking a break to pursue his passion for racing. He spoke about the opportunity to revisit his beloved character and the renewed enthusiasm he brings to his craft.
And this is the part most people miss... Bryan Cranston, who plays the lovable and quirky Hal, shared his own excitement about slipping back into his character. He expressed how much he missed Hal and the entire family, highlighting the rewarding experience of revisiting a beloved role after almost two decades.
So, what do you think about the 'Malcolm in the Middle' revival? Will it live up to the original's legacy? Share your thoughts in the comments! We'd love to hear your opinions on this highly anticipated comeback.
