The Emmy-nominated actor, known for his iconic role as Hal on “Malcolm in the Middle,” has hinted at exciting updates regarding the return of this cherished sitcom…and it seems significant alterations are on the horizon. Prior to his portrayal of Walter White (a.k.a Heisenberg) in the hit series “Breaking Bad,” Cranston brought Hal, the affectionate yet eccentric father, to life throughout the entire run of “Malcolm in the Middle.
Currently, Bryan Cranston has shared with Variety his enthusiasm about reprising his role for more episodes of “Malcolm in the Middle.” The actor has harbored this desire for quite some time. He hinted at exciting and excellent concepts in the upcoming Disney+ spin-off series, promising significant alterations within the family structure, while maintaining a few familiar elements.
20 years have passed since we last graced the airwaves, but now all those boys are grown men with families of their own. In many ways, this changes the dynamics – yet, I can’t help but wonder if Hal and Lois have truly evolved in the same way. I’m not sure they have.
The ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ Reboot Will Recast an Original Character
The long-awaited comeback of “Malcolm in the Middle” has been confirmed! Bryan Cranston will reprise his role as Hal, while Jane Kaczmarek returns as Lois, their wife and mother. Christopher Masterson is set to play eldest son Francis, Justin Berfield takes on the role of Hal and Lois’ second son Reese, and Frankie Muniz steps into the shoes of Malcolm, the brilliant protagonist. However, there will be a notable change in the cast: the character Dewey, the fourth son of Hal and Lois, will be recast. Previously played by Erik Per Sullivan during the original series, he has largely moved away from acting since the show’s end. Taking over the role for the revival is Caleb Ellsworth-Clark, who gained recognition through his work in “Fargo” and “The Expanse”.
The show titled “Malcolm in the Middle” focuses on the adventures of Frankie Muniz, who plays Malcolm, the middle child in question, a teenager with average behavior but extraordinary intelligence. This series is loosely based on the life of its creator Linwood Boomer and spanned over seven seasons from 2000-2006. The narrative revolves around Malcolm, his hot-headed mother Lois (Jane Kaczmarek), her laid-back husband Hal (Bryan Cranston), and their three chaotic sons, Francis (Christopher Masterson), Reese (Justin Berfield), and Dewey (Erik Per Sullivan).
Rumors have been swirling about a potential return of the character from “Malcolm in the Middle,” as Muniz mentioned earlier that the holdup is primarily because the cast is meticulously working to ensure every detail is perfect before moving forward.
We aim to avoid being another series that was recently rebooted, which might not have been necessary. Therefore, if we decide to proceed, quality will be our utmost priority. Given the legendary status of our previous show, it’s crucial to maintain its integrity and ensure it continues to resonate with new viewers. Our goal is to deliver a high-quality product that matches audience expectations without compromising the original impact.
