Malcolm in the Middle Revival: Hyped for Frankie, Sad for a Recast Brother Role

by

The highly anticipated comeback of “Malcolm in the Middle” has been given the go-ahead, and details are starting to surface. As a fan like myself, I can’t help but stay on top of these updates and get ready for what lies ahead. Interestingly, the show’s main actor, Frankie Muniz, is gearing up in a significant way that leaves me eager. However, it’s disheartening to learn that one of the show’s crucial characters will be played by a different actor in the four-episode reboot, which will eventually be accessible to Disney+ subscribers at some point.

What Did Frankie Muniz Say About The Revival?

For several years now, there’s been chatter about a fresh take on the popular sitcom featuring child prodigy Malcolm and his family. The delay in reviving Malcolm, it appears, was due to the meticulous effort to create something as outstanding as the original. In a world where follow-ups can range greatly in quality, this news excites me. Frankie Muniz’s recent post on X platform has further ignited my excitement, as he announced his intent to rewatch the show thoroughly.

I recently began watching the first episode of Malcolm in the Middle. I have 151 episodes to watch before we resume shooting in a few days! I can hardly wait to reunite with my on-screen family again.

It doesn’t surprise me at all that the ex-child actor decided to revisit the classic sitcom again, and I’m delighted he did. The idea of him meeting up with his fellow actors once more really gets me excited. Unfortunately, though, it seems like one original cast member won’t be there this time around.

Who’s Not Returning For The Malcolm In The Middle Revival?

Following the announcement of the upcoming show, which we eagerly anticipate making an appearance on our streaming service ahead of schedule, it has been confirmed that Frankie Muniz will be back. His previous co-stars, Jane Kaczmarek and Bryan Cranston (who enjoy a close bond with Muniz), are set to reprise their roles as Lois and Hal once more. According to recent reports from Deadline, Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield plan to reclaim their roles as Francis and Reese. However, Erik Per Sullivan has chosen to retire from acting, leaving the role open for Caleb Ellsworth-Clark to take over.

Among my siblings, it’s Dewey who holds a special place in my heart, and Erik Per Sullivan truly nailed his portrayal. The character is both brilliant and empathetic, making the audience sympathize with him as he bears the brunt of his brothers’ anger. This emotional turmoil leads him to spare his eventual younger brother, Jamie, from similar treatment. Sullivan’s decision not to reprise his role is reasonable, but we’ll surely miss him. I’m eager to see how Caleb Ellsworth-Clark handles this more mature version of Dewey in the new setup.
