MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE: Disney+ Orders Limited Revival Series

MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE is returning for a limited revival on Disney+, the streamer announced. The returning cast members for the four episodes include Frankie Muniz as Malcolm, Bryan Cranston as Hal, and Jane Kaczmarek as Lois.

According to Disney+, “The original MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE saw young genius Malcolm trying to navigate life with his quirky, often difficult family. In these brand-new episodes, Malcolm and his daughter are drawn into the family’s chaos when Hal and Lois demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.”

“MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE is a landmark sitcom that captured the essence of family life with humor, heart and relatability,” said Ayo Davis, president, Disney Branded Television, in a statement. “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.”

“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,” added Karey Burke, president, 20th Television. “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.”

The series originally ran from 2000-2006 on Fox.
