LOS ANGELES - Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek are reuniting for a new four-episode run of "Malcolm in the Middle" for Disney+ – 25 years after the beloved sitcom first launched.
The show, which originally aired on FOX for seven seasons starting in 2000, was hailed for looking at ordinary life through the eyes of an extraordinary youngster: Malcolm, played by Muniz.
"OH MY GOSH! I'm so excited to announce that after 18 years, Malcolm in the Middle is returning with new episodes on @disneyplus!," Muniz said on Instagram Friday accompanying a video announcement. "Get ready, we can't wait for everyone to see what Malcolm and his family have been up to!"
The show ran for seven seasons starting in 2000 and was hailed for looking at ordinary life through the eyes of an extraordinary youngster, now fully grown: Malcolm, played by Muniz, who has a genius I.Q.
