Malcolm in the Middle may be getting the revival treatment, a highly anticipated four-part installment from Disney+/Hulu, but its team isn’t necessarily ruling out a full-fledged reboot.
In the limited series, premiering April 10, everyone’s favorite dysfunctional family — first introduced in Fox’s beloved aughts-era single-cam comedy — reunites, much to the chagrin of Frankie Muniz’s title character. Now estranged from his loud-mouthed clan, happily partnered and with a similarly neurotic daughter, Malcolm is forced to enter the fore amid Hal (Bryan Cranston) and Lois’ (Jane Kaczmarek) 40th wedding anniversary celebration.
With many original cast members returning (except Erik Per Sullivan’s Dewey, now recast with Caleb Ellsworth-Clark), Kiana Madeira joins as Malcolm’s girlfriend Tristan, while Keeley Karsten plays his daughter Leah.
