Frankie Muniz Reflects on 'Malcolm in the Middle' and Upcoming Reboot

The actor calls his character 'the worst' but expresses excitement for the Disney+ revival marking the show's 25th anniversary.

Frankie Muniz, who starred as Malcolm in 'Malcolm in the Middle,' described his character as 'the worst' after rewatching the series with his wife in 2017.
The upcoming four-episode revival will feature Malcolm navigating family chaos alongside his daughter at his parents’ 40th wedding anniversary celebration.
The revival, announced in December 2024, will reunite Muniz with Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek, who played his on-screen parents.
Muniz shared that discussions about a reboot began a decade ago and that he is thrilled to return to the set with the original creative team.
The limited series will stream on Disney+, but a specific release date has not yet been confirmed.
