Back in 2016, Bryan Cranston expressed his personal interest in a Malcolm in the Middle reunion, speaking about the possibility of the acclaimed family sitcom returning in a world obsessed with reboots and revivals. All these years later, is such a reunion still in the cards? Star Frankie Muniz seems to think so.
In a new interview with Fox News published this week (October 24), Muniz shared that his former co-star Cranston was the person getting "everything rolling" towards making the revival a reality, including work on the script.
"When I was filming the show, I obviously was a kid," Muniz explained. "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… I realized, 'Wow, that's what we were making.' … I can separate myself from being on it and watching it as a fan."
Now, Muniz "would love to know what the family's up to," sharing, "I know Bryan Cranston is really into the idea and he's kind of heading writing the script and getting everything rolling. So, there might be something. I would be down 100 percent. But I don't know — we'll see what happens."
Appearing on Steve-O's Wild Ride! podcast last December, Muniz revealed that Cranston was at the lead of a Malcolm in the Middle revival five years earlier, with the original cast "on board except for one person," though he did not name the actor in question.
Created by Vancouver-born writer and producer Linwood Boomer, Malcolm in the Middle ran for seven seasons between 2000 and 2006, winning seven Emmys and a Peabody Award during its run. The show's theme song, "Boss of Me," was recorded by American alt-rockers They Might Be Giants.
Muniz's complete interview with Fox also spotlights his extracurriculars outside of acting, including drumming and race car driving — but doesn't detail his tweets about lusting after Lizzo and cats flooding homes.
