MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE star Frankie Muniz says Disney+’s reboot of the sitcom has officially wrapped filming.
“Just wrapped filming the MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE reboot, and man, I’m still reeling. This experience was straight-up incredible — like stepping back into Malcolm’s wild world but with all the love and chaos cranked to 11,” Muniz shared with a photo of the show’s clapboard on May 16.
“Reuniting with the cast, getting to know some new characters, laughing till it hurt, and making new memories on set felt like a dream I didn’t want to wake up from. It went by so fast, like a blur of perfect moments. I wish it could go on forever,” he said.
Even though the show’s all finished with filming, there’s still no word of a release date yet.
The show will feature former cast members Muniz, Bryan Cranston, Jane Kaczmarek, Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield. Caleb Ellsworth-Clark will take over the role of Dewey, TV Insider reported. Kiana Madeira will star as Tristan, Malcom’s girlfriend. Anthony Timpano, Vaughan Murrae and Keeley Karsten will also star.
Variety reported that the reboot will focus on adult Malcolm and his daughter. Things get chaotic when Hal and Lois request his presence at their 40th wedding anniversary party.

The series has only four episodes. Filming began in late March. Linwood Boomer returns as the writer and executive producer. Cranston, Tracy Katsky, Gail Berman, Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan and Natalie Lehmann are all executive producers. Ken Kwapis will direct.
“MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE is a landmark sitcom that captured the essence of family life with humor, heart, and relatability,” said Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television. “It’s hilarious and heartfelt portrayal of a lovably chaotic family resonated with audiences of all ages, and we’re so excited to welcome the original cast back to bring that magic to life again.”
Muniz said he and Cranston started talking about a reboot a decade ago. After a long wait, he was very excited to jump into the new project.
“I had to do some chemistry reads. I can’t tell you with what characters, but new characters that would be on the show,” he told PEOPLE in February. “And it was so weird to go back and be with Linwood Boomer, the creator, and Ken Kwapis, the director, and be back in that mindset.”
Now that the series has wrapped, hopefully the reboot will come out next year at the latest.
