Disney+ reveals Malcolm in the Middle revival: Nation celebrates
The news is out and fans can’t contain their excitement: Disney+ has officially announced a four-episode limited series revival of the beloved sitcom Malcolm in the Middle! Set to premiere in January 2025, this revival coincides with the 25th anniversary of the original show’s debut on FOX, giving fans a nostalgic treat to look forward to.
For those who may have forgotten, the Wilkerson family is back in action, with Hal (played by Bryan Cranston pre-Breaking Bad) and Lois (Jane Kaczmarek) taking center stage as they celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. Of course, Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) will be there with his wife and daughter (yet to be cast), but the big question remains: will we see the rest of the Wilkerson kids? While there’s no confirmation on Christopher Masterson (Francis), Justin Berfield (Reece), or Erik Per Sullivan (Dewey) returning, we can only hope for a full family reunion.
And let’s not forget the possibility of other familiar faces making an appearance. Could we see Stevie or Craig, Lois’s old boss, wishing the couple well? And wouldn’t it be a treat if Christopher Lloyd returned as Hal’s dad? The potential for surprises and nostalgic moments is endless, making this revival a must-watch for fans of the original series.
With Bryan Cranston leading the writing team for the revival, alongside Jane Kaczmarek and Frankie Muniz reprising their iconic roles, Disney+ has truly hit the jackpot. And with the trend of acclaimed actors joining TV projects, like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Loki, it’s clear that the allure of a well-crafted script can bring even the biggest stars back to the small screen.
As we eagerly await the premiere in January 2025, the buzz surrounding the Malcolm in the Middle revival only continues to grow. And with the promise of a limited series format, it’s the perfect opportunity for the returning cast to shine once again, delivering the classic humor and heartwarming moments that fans know and love. Get ready to relive the magic of the Wilkerson family all over again, right from the comfort of your own home on Disney+!
