Bryan Cranston is currently well-known for his role as Walter White in Breaking Bad; however, before he donned the hat of a methamphetamine cook on the acclaimed AMC series, he was the father figure to Frankie Muniz on Malcolm in the Middle. Remarkably, over 20 years since the sitcom ended its run, it is coming back for a four-episode reunion later this year, which Cranston has referred to as “fun.
During a gathering for his Apple TV+ series titled The Studio, the topic of reviving Malcolm in the Middle arose. Besides Bryan Cranston, the original cast members are expected to return as well, except for Erik Per Sullivan, whose character Dewey needed a replacement due to the former child actor leaving the entertainment industry some time back. However, Cranston mentioned that reuniting with the team after almost 20 years was an extraordinary and unique feeling.
Returning to the role of Hal brought such joy for me; I had truly missed him. Nearly two decades have passed since we parted ways, yet he remains a charming and endearing character. Spending time with him again, alongside my entire family, was truly delightful. It was an enjoyable experience indeed.
The revival of the show “Malcolm in the Middle” on Disney+ has not been given a specific release date as of now, but it is anticipated to premiere in December. The upcoming miniseries will focus on Malcolm and his daughter getting entangled in the family’s turmoil when Hal and Lois invite him for their 40th wedding anniversary party. Earlier this year, Muniz shared a sneak peek with fans by posting a photo of himself along with his on-screen parents, hinting that it’s great to have them back in his life.
‘Malcolm in the Middle’ Helped Influence the Modern Sitcom
Beginning on Fox on January 9, 2000, “Malcolm in the Middle” featured Muniz as the brilliant yet troubled protagonist from his chaotic family. The series quickly became a success for the network, attracting an average of 15.2 million viewers during its first season. While viewership numbers dropped in subsequent years, the impact of the show continues to resonate today.
Initially, “Malcolm in the Middle” was a groundbreaking sitcom that abandoned traditional laugh tracks and single-camera filming methods. This innovative approach opened doors for subsequent shows like “The Office,” “Modern Family,” and “Arrested Development” to thrive and gain popularity. Even after it went off the air, “Malcolm in the Middle” remains a beloved series by many, frequently recognized as one of the best sitcoms ever produced.
It remains to be seen if the upcoming four-episode comeback will receive the same level of acclaim. However, creator Linwood Boomer is confident and not overstaying his welcome. If it’s well-liked by both audiences and critics, there might be more to come, but we’re just happy for a peek into the lives of the Wilkerson family after 20 years. Keep an eye out for the revival of Malcolm in the Middle on Disney+ later this year. For now, you can catch all seven seasons of the original series on Hulu.
