Late last year, Disney announced it was bringing back the popular sitcom, “Malcolm In The Middle”, for a limited, four-episode run on Disney+ globally. 

The original “Malcolm in the Middle” saw young genius Malcolm trying to navigate life with his quirky, often difficult family. In these brand-new episodes, Malcolm and his daughter are drawn into the family’s chaos when Hal and Lois demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.

The new series will see the return of original cast members Frankie Muniz as Malcolm, Bryan Cranston as Hal, and Jane Kaczmarek as Lois.

Variety has also revealed that Kiana Madeira has joined the cast of the revival and she will be playing the role of Tristan, who is described as “Malcolm’s charming and opinionated girlfriend who – by any rational standard – is way out of his league.” 

Kiana has previously starred in Netflix’s “Fear Street”, “After We Fell”, ” Sacred Lies” and “The Flash”. 

“Malcolm in the Middle” originally debuted on the Fox channel in 2000, pioneering the single-camera format and paving the way for other hit sitcoms like “The Office” and “30 Rock.”

Over the course of its seven seasons, the series received widespread critical acclaim, winning a Peabody Award, seven Emmy Awards, one GRAMMY Award and seven Golden Globe nominations. Recently, users on the popular Reddit/TV thread overwhelmingly deemed it the single best sitcom ever with a perfect run from start to finish.

Linwood Boomer created the original series and returns as writer and executive producer. Bryan Cranston, Tracy Katsky (KatCo), Gail Berman and New Regency’s Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan and Natalie Lehmann are executive producers. Ken Kwapis will direct all four episodes and executive produce. Jimmy Simons and Laura Delahaye are co-executive producers. The limited series is produced by 20th Television, a part of Disney Television Studios, and New Regency.

All 151 episodes are available to stream on Hulu or via Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the United States and on Disney+ internationally.
