Now that filming has officially begun, Frankie Muniz has posted a photo of himself, Cranston, and Kaczmarek on X from the set of the Malcolm in the Middle revival. Alongside the photo, he wrote, "Always good to have Mom and Dad around!" Muniz, Cranston, and Kaczmarek will all play major roles in the revival, and this reunion post is exciting for longtime fans of the series. View his post below:

One Key Role Has Been Recast

When the Malcolm in the Middle revival was announced in December 2024, it was accompanied by a video that featured Muniz, Cranston, and Kaczmarek. The video featured Cranston and Kaczmarek yelling "Malcolm!" that sounded exactly like their characters from decades ago. However, it is still very exciting to see them all on set together so long after the conclusion of the series. Malcolm, Hal, and Lois appeared in every season of the series, and were three of the best characters in Malcolm in the Middle.

In addition to Malcolm, Lois, and Hal, the Malcolm in the Middle revival will also see the return of popular characters like Francis, Reese, and Dewey. However, while Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield will reprise their roles as Malcolm's older brothers, Erik Per Sullivan will not return as Dewey. Sullivan stepped away from acting at a young age. As a result, Dewey has been recast with Caleb Ellsworth-Clark. While there will be some changes, the revival of the beloved series is still very exciting.

In addition to these cast details, some story details about the Malcolm in the Middle revival have also been revealed. In the four-episode revival, Malcolm will return to the family home for Hal and Lois' 40th wedding anniversary, and also have a daughter of his own. Seeing all the characters so long after the original series will be exciting, and hopefully these four episodes can compare to the best episodes of Malcolm in the Middle. While filming has just begun, Malcom in the Middle returning is exciting.
