"Malcolm in the Middle" Revival in Works 

A “Malcolm in the Middle” revival has been ordered at Disney+.

The new iteration of the series hails from original series creator Linwood Boomer, with original stars Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, and Jane Kaczmarek set to reprise their roles.

Disney Branded Television has ordered four new episodes of the beloved sitcom. A premiere date has yet to be set.

Per the official logline, “Malcolm (Muniz) and his daughter are drawn into the family’s chaos when Hal (Cranston) and Lois (Kaczmarek) demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.”

“Malcolm in the Middle” originally aired on Fox for seven seasons and 151 episodes from 2000-2006.

The original cast included Muniz, Cranston, Kaczmarek, Justin Berfield, Erik Per Sullivan, and Christopher Masterson.

The series proved to be incredibly popular upon its debut and helped popularize single-camera comedies on television.

It racked up 33 Emmy nominations over the course of its run, ultimately winning seven of the statuettes. That includes two wins for Cloris Leachman for best guest actress in a comedy and two wins each for best directing and best writing for a comedy series.

Linwood Boomer created the original series and returns as writer and executive producer. Cranston, Tracy Katsky of KatCo, Gail Berman and New Regency’s Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan and Natalie Lehmann are executive producers.

Ken Kwapis will direct all four episodes and executive produce. Jimmy Simons and Laura Delahaye are co-executive producers.

The limited series is produced by 20th Television and New Regency.

This is the third broadcast network series from the early 2000s to get some kind of reboot or revival news in the past week.

It was previously reported that a “Scrubs” reboot is in development at ABC from series creator Bill Lawrence, while a reboot of “Prison Break” from Elgin James has gotten a pilot order at Hulu.
