‘Malcolm in the Middle’ Revival to Begin Filming with Expanded Cast

Disney+ reunites much of the original cast while introducing new characters for a four-episode series centered on family chaos during Hal and Lois' 40th anniversary.

Filming for the four-episode revival is set to commence in Vancouver within days, with a release expected later in 2025.
Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, and Jane Kaczmarek will reprise their roles as Malcolm, Hal, and Lois, respectively, alongside Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield as Francis and Reese.
Erik Per Sullivan, who played Dewey, will not return; Caleb Ellsworth-Clark has been cast to take over the role.
New characters include Malcolm’s daughter Leah, played by Keeley Karsten, and the family’s youngest sibling Kelly, portrayed by Vaughan Murrae.
Linwood Boomer, the original creator, returns as writer and executive producer, with Ken Kwapis directing all four episodes.
