Actor Bryan Cranston revealed this week that there has been talk of a potential “Malcolm in the Middle” reunion.
Cranston, who played Hal Wilkerson on the hit series in the early 2000s, told E! News that a reunion would be “fun to do” and would consider being part of a storyline exploring the future of the show’s family.
“There’s been talk about making it like a ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ reunion movie,” Cranston told the press.
“We had a big family in it, and I would definitely be open to it if there was a good idea like, ‘Oh, it would be great to explore what happened to this family 20 years later.’ I can’t believe it’s already like that, but it would be fun to do it.”
The series, which ran for seven seasons from 2000 to 2006, won numerous awards, including seven Emmys and a Peabody Award.
Cranston’s recent comments aren’t the first time he’s expressed interest in a “Malcolm in the Middle” revival.
Cranston told E! News in 2016 that he hoped a reunion could take place in the future.
“For no other reason than I miss those people like crazy…yeah, I would,” Cranston said of a possible reunion.
Actor Frankie Muniz, who played the show’s titular character, revealed on the Steve-O Podcast in 2021 that Cranston had previously led a reunion effort and everyone was “on him” except for one cast member, that Muniz I didn’t call him.
“They want to make it into a movie and I don’t really understand it, but I would be excited because it would be amazing to see where Malcolm and his family are 20 years later, whatever that is,” Muniz said.
“I know Bryan wrote the script, so we’ll see what happens there.”
