MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE Revival Set At Disney+ With Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, Jane Kaczmarek Returning

Disney+ has recently ordered a "Malcolm in the Middle" revival which hails from original series creator Linwood Boomer, who will return as writer and executive producer. Original stars Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek are set to reprise their roles. Disney Branded Television has ordered four new episodes of the beloved sitcom. A premiere date has yet to be set.

The official logline reads as follows: "Malcolm (Muniz) and his daughter are drawn into the family’s chaos when Hal (Cranston) and Lois (Kaczmarek) demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party."

Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television, had this to say about the revival: "'Malcolm in the Middle' is a landmark sitcom that captured the essence of family life with humor, heart and relatability. Its hilarious and heartfelt portrayal of a lovably chaotic family resonated with audiences of all ages, and we're so excited to welcome the original cast back to bring that magic to life again. With Linwood Boomer and the creative team at the helm, these new episodes will have all the laughs, pranks, and mayhem fans loved — along with a few surprises that remind us why this show is so timeless."

Karey Burke, president of 20th Television added: "Malcolm in the Middle literally changed the face of the television comedy landscape when it premiered two decades ago, redefining what the genre could be. When Linwood Boomer suggested it might be time to bring everyone's favorite dysfunctional family back for a bit of a reunion, we couldn't think of a more iconic and influential series to revisit, along with a truly brilliant cast to reunite.".

"Malcolm in the Middle" originally aired on Fox for seven seasons and 151 episodes from 2000-2006. The series proved to be incredibly popular and helped popularize single-camera comedies on television. It amassed a total of 33 Emmy nominations over the course of its run, winning seven, including two for guest star Cloris Leachman, and two wins each for best directing and best writing for a comedy series. The entire series currently streams on Hulu and on Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers.

Cranston, Tracy Katsky of KatCo, Gail Berman and New Regency's Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan and Natalie Lehmann are executive producers. Ken Kwapis will direct all four episodes and executive produce. Jimmy Simons and Laura Delahaye are co-executive producers. The limited series is produced by 20th Television and New Regency.
