Frankie Muniz Reveals Bryan Cranston Is Writing a Malcolm in the Middle Reunion

A family reunion is in store for the Wilkersons.

Frankie Muniz, who played titular middle child Malcolm in the hit early 2000s sitcom Malcolm in the Middle, has revealed that his onscreen father, Bryan Cranston, might be getting the family back together again.

Speaking to Fox about the possibility of a revival, Muniz let slip that "Bryan Cranston is really into the idea."

But Cranston's not just interested in a reunion—in fact, he's actively working on a fresh Malcolm In the Middle story.

"He's kind of heading writing the script and getting everything rolling," he teased, "So there might be something."

Muniz went on to say that if there was a revival, he "would be down, 100 percent"—especially since he's now a fan of the show himself.

"When I was filming the show, I obviously was a kid," the Big Fat Liar actor said. "We did seven seasons, 151 episodes. I didn't really watch the show when it was on, but I've now since watched the show with my wife. We [watched] all 151 episodes, and I realized, 'Wow, that's what we were making.' I can separate myself from being on it and watching it as a fan. I would love to know what the family's up to."

What the Cast of Malcolm in the Middle Is Up to Now

Malcolm In the Middle, which ran from 2000 to 2006, also starred Jane Kaczmarek, Christopher Kennedy Masterson, Justin Berfield and Erik Per Sullivan as the rest of Wilkersons as they get into various hijinks.

And clearly, this idea is loved by the entire family: Cranston previously told E! News in 2020 that he "hopes" for a reunion, "for no other reason than I miss those people like crazy."

"I'd love to," he shared. "There's a possibility. We want to start talking about the possibility of putting together a story that makes sense about that family, 10 years later, or whatever—12 years later. It's not unheard of."
