Bryan Cranston & Frankie Muniz reunite as Malcolm in the Middle reboot talks

The recent emotional reunion between “Malcolm in the Middle” stars Bryan Cranston and Frankie Muniz has fueled speculation about a potential reboot of the beloved sitcom. The heartwarming video, which also featured Cranston’s “Breaking Bad” co-star Aaron Paul, stirred excitement among fans longing to see the cast back together.

Muniz’s appearance with a crate of Cranston and Paul’s Dos Hombres Mezcal sparked further interest, especially considering the timing of the reunion video. It surfaced shortly after Muniz hinted at the possibility of a “Malcolm in the Middle” reboot during an episode of the Bialik Breakdown podcast with Mayim Bialik.

In the podcast, Muniz expressed his eagerness to explore where Malcolm and his family are now, indicating his willingness to reprise his role if a revival were to materialize. He disclosed past attempts to initiate a reboot, including ideas involving Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek (who portrayed Malcolm’s mother, Lois), but emphasized that the show’s creator, Linwood Boomer, holds the final say.

Despite Boomer’s reluctance, Muniz remains optimistic, emphasizing the importance of a reboot making sense and living up to the original’s legacy. This isn’t the first time Muniz has expressed interest in revisiting his iconic role, as he previously stated his enthusiasm for a revival during an interview with Fox News in 2022.

Reflecting on his time on “Malcolm in the Middle,” Muniz expressed gratitude for the experiences the show afforded him and the subsequent opportunities it led to, including racing cars, touring with a band, and venturing into entrepreneurship.

While discussions about a “Malcolm in the Middle” reboot continue to circulate, fans eagerly await any official announcements regarding the potential return of the beloved sitcom.
