Malcolm In The Middle: Reboot | Teaser Trailer (2025) Bryan Cranston, Frankie Muniz (4K) Concept

Frankie Muniz sheds some light on details regarding the upcoming revival of Malcolm in the Middle. Initially premiering in 2000, the show followed the gifted middle son, Muniz's Malcolm, of a dysfunctional family. Tracking Malcom's hardships and woes, the show was able to stand out from the usual fare of sitcoms with its dark comedy, absurd family dynamics, fourth-wall breaks, and its unconventional gags. Though it had a conclusive ending back in 2006, Disney has green-lit an anticipated, albeit brief, Malcolm in the Middle revival.

In an interview with ScreenRant for his upcoming AI thriller Renner, Muniz shared a few details regarding the revival of Malcolm in the Middle. Muniz said that the revival was originally pitched as a two-hour movie, but, for the sake of Disney+, it was turned into a four-episode series with each installment running 30 minutes long, telling one single storyline. Muniz then said there's potential for more after, stating, "We'll see what happens after that."
