It’s all about family today in Vancouver, British Columbia, whereFrankie Munizenjoyed a little one-on-one time with his TV parents,Bryan CranstonandJane Kaczmarek. The trio are all smiles in an image that Muniz shared on his social media while filming the eagerly-anticipatedMalcolm in the Middlerevival. Our sweet little millennial hearts are a little less dark today after seeing the actors on the set of the Disney+ series, with Muniz captioning his post “Always good to have Mom and Dad around!” That it is, Frankie. That it is.
The gang might be all smiles now, but we’ll need to wait to see just how well their on-screen personas get along when the four-episode project arrives down the line. Fans of the original series will know that things can geta littlechaotic when the whole family is together with the explosion of personalities — not to mention testosterone. Over four episodes, audiences will catch up with the family who enjoyed apopular and successful runfor seven seasons before going off the air in 2006. Muniz’s Malcolm,along with his brothers, are all grown up and their parents, Hal (Cranston) and Lois (Kaczmarek), are now grandparents. The short but sweet return will see Malcolm and his daughter traveling to visit Hal and Lois after the former pair insist that the family get back together for their 40th wedding anniversary celebration.
Joining Muniz, Kaczmarek, and Cranston will beChristopher Masterson and Justin Berfield, who will reprise their roles asFrancis and Reese, respectively. Masterson’s character is the eldest child in the Wilkerson household who was at military school for much of the original series, while Berfield’s Reese was Malcolm’s tough and cool older brother. Unfortunately for die-hard fans,Erik Sullivanwill not to reprise his role as younger brother Dewey, withCaleb Ellsworth-Clarkstepping into the character’s shoes instead.
What To Expect From the ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ Revival
We know the plot for the series involves a family reunion of sorts, but what else can we expect from Disney+’s take on the Wilkerson family nearly 20 years after the original show’s ending? Well, according to Cranston, it’s going to pull on some heartstrings.The award winning actor previously teasedthat the production was “funny” and “heartfelt” with “some really fun, terrific ideas.” He also hinted at “a different dynamic” between the family, but alluded toHaland Lois being the same as they’ve always been.
