Heads up, Millennials! A reboot is in the works that you won’t want to miss.
Disney continues to bring back old series from the early 2000s, revamping them with the children of the kids we grew up with. Examples include That’s So Raven returning as Raven’s Home, Boy Meets World returning as Girl Meets World, and Wizards of Waverly Place recently making a comeback as Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. Now, everyone’s favorite dysfunctional family from the 2000s is set to make a comeback!
In an Instagram post, Disney+ made a HUGE announcement for those of us who grew up in the 2000s. Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, and Jane Kaczmarek created a reel announcing the return of Malcolm in the Middle!
The reboot will take place on Disney+ as four new episodes of the beloved sitcom. An official premiere date has not been set yet. According to Variety, the show is described as: “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.”
The creator of the original series, Linwood Boomer, is behind the reboot, along with Disney Branded Television. Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television stated, “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.”
The original show aired on Fox for seven season and 151 episodes from 2000-2006. The original cast consisted of Muniz, Cranston, and Kaczmarek who will be reprising their roles in the upcoming reboot.
You might recognize Muniz from other early 2000 hits such as Agent Cody Banks and Big Fat Liar. Bryan Cranston is probably best known for his role at Walter White on Breaking Bad, while Jane Kaczmarek has been in movies such as Chips, The Heavenly Kid, and Pleasantville.
We’re looking forward to yelling “MALCOLM” again after nearly 20 years without Malcolm in the Middle. For more Disney news, keep following DFB!
