What made “Malcolm in the Middle” special?

The original series premiered on Fox in 2000 and ran until 2006. During its six seasons, the show earned 33 Emmy nominations and won seven awards. It became a classic sitcom thanks to its unique humor and relatable characters.

“Malcolm in the Middle” followed Malcolm, a gifted middle child navigating life with his wild and dysfunctional family. His intelligence often clashed with his brothers’ antics and his parents’ strict, chaotic parenting style.

Familiar faces returning for the reboot

Fans will see Muniz reprise his role as Malcolm in the reboot. Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek will also return as his eccentric parents, Hal and Lois. According to Variety, the official synopsis teases, “Malcolm and his daughter are drawn into the family’s chaos when Hal and Lois demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.”

Linwood Boomer, the creator of the original series, will return as a writer and executive producer.

Muniz shares his excitement

Since the series ended, Muniz has pursued a professional racing career. However, he has teased the possibility of a reboot for years.

In an interview with Dr. Mayim Bialik in 2023, Muniz said, “I have a greater appreciation of even what the show is and was and would love to dive in with all those people again.” Now, that dream is becoming a reality.

No official premiere date has been set, but fans are eager to reunite with the family that brought chaos and comedy to TV screens for years.
