EXCLUSIVE UPDATE: Which Iconic Family Returns Bigger Than Ever to Disney+ in 2024?

Malcolm in the Middle is set to return to television for a highly anticipated revival, coming exclusively to Disney+ with an initial four-episode run. The original stars will be reprising their roles, which promises an interesting mix of the familiar and the new. Frankie Muniz will once again be playing the titular character while Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek reprise their roles as Hal and Lois, Malcolm's loving but chaotic parents.

Fans of the original show, which initially aired from 2000 to 2006, will be delighted to know that many of its unique quirks are being preserved, alongside some expected updates for its 2024 revival. Since its initial run, the series finale garnered massive attention for featuring a jump-forward ending, and now it seems that its creative team has ample fodder for making more episodes set after the events of that finale.

For nostalgia enthusiasts and new viewers alike, this news is a beacon of hope for watching engaging, family-themed entertainment that does not hold back on expressing itself. It will be exciting to see the core elements of Malcolm in the Middle’s formula translated to today’s more permissive television landscape. After securing a new home on Disney+, it is anybody’s guess what will be allowed or held back.

This marks a significant milestone for the series as Malcolm in the Middle boasts a huge following across generations, enjoying strong syndication since its first airing. Disney’s continued endeavor in reinvigorating other iconic series may prove profitable. However, time will only tell if these new episodes live up to the expectations set by their predecessors. There’s been no official release date for these new episodes, but anticipation is already sky-high.
