Frankie Muniz shares ‘Malcom in the Middle’ revival photo with brothers

Frankie Muniz shared a photo from the set of the upcoming “Malcolm in the Middle” revival, showing him reunited with his co-stars Justin Berfield and Christopher Masterson.

“I was told not to post this yet but then I remembered the theme song. I’m just too excited to watch the new episodes and I miss my brothers,” Muniz wrote on

The four-episode revival, titled “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair,” a reference to the opening lyrics of the theme song, will debut on Disney+ in 2026. Muniz returns in the title role, the third of five sons in a dysfunctional suburban family, alongside Berfield and Masterson as his older brothers Francis and Reese, respectively.

Other returning cast members include Bryan Cranston as Malcolm’s father, Hal; Jane Kaczmarek as his mother, Lois; Craig Lamar Traylor as his best friend, Stevie Kenarban; Gary Anthony Williams as Stevie’s father, Abe Kenarban; Emy Coligado as Francis’ wife, Piama; and David Anthony Higgins as Craig Feldspar, Lois’ colleague.

Malcolm’s younger brother Dewey was previously played by Erik Per Sullivan, but will be played by Caleb Ellsworth-Clark in the revival. Jamie, the youngest brother in the original series, is played by Anthony Timpano; the character was only three years old at the end of the original series, in which he was played by James and Lukas Rodriguez. The revival also introduces a new youngest sibling, Kelly (Vaughan Murrae), who is non-binary. Other new characters joining the mix include Malcolm’s girlfriend Tristan (Kiana Madeira) and his daughter Leah (Keeley Karsten).
