Revivals of the beloved 2000s series are all the rage in Hollywood these days, and Malcolm in the Middle is the next one in line. Disney+ is celebrating its upcoming 25th anniversary by ordering a four-episode revival starring the original cast members Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, and Jane Kaczmarek.
According to its official logline, the four-episode special will see Malcolm and his daughter getting draw back into the family’s chaos after his parents Hal and Lois invite them to their 40th wedding anniversary party.
The original series creator, Linwood Boomer, is also the mastermind behind this four-episode revival. Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television, praised his commitment to bringing back the laughs, pranks, and mayhem that fans of Malcolm in the Middle loved so much.
“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,” said Davis in a statement.
Malcolm in the Middle ran on Fox for seven seasons between 2000 and 2006, and it centered on a gifted young teen struggling with growing pains while living with his comically dysfunctional family. It won seven Emmy Awards and many other accolades during its run.
