The popular sitcom "Malcolm in the Middle" is set to make its return with a four-episode special on Disney+, although fans will notice a key absence. Erik Per Sullivan, known for his role as Malcolm's younger brother Dewey from 2000 to 2006, will not reprise his character, as he has chosen to leave the acting world. Instead, Caleb Ellsworth-Clark, recognized for his work in "Fargo," will now portray Dewey.
Frankie Muniz, who plays the titular role of Malcolm, will return alongside the original cast, including his on-screen parents Lois and Hal, portrayed by Jane Kaczmarek and Bryan Cranston. Kaczmarek confirmed in a previous interview that Sullivan is doing well in his personal life, adding that he pursued higher education and expressed little interest in acting post "Malcolm." Sullivan, now 33, reportedly studies Victorian literature at a prestigious university and is fond of Dickens' works. His acting career concluded with a 2010 performance in the teen crime drama "Twelve," and he has remained out of the spotlight since then.
"Malcolm in the Middle," recognized for its unique storytelling and humor, originally aired from 2000 until 2006, during which it garnered seven Emmy Awards. The show centered on the challenges faced by a gifted child, Malcolm, and his unconventional family dynamics. Dewey, musically inclined and often subjected to sibling rivalry, evolved into a fan-favorite character who endeavored to rise above his family's chaos.
The charming comedy is poised to begin production in Vancouver soon, and in a fresh narrative twist, Malcolm now has a teenage daughter played by Keeley Karsten. The storyline of the first episode reveals the family rallying around Hal and Lois for their 40th wedding anniversary, promising a new wave of familial fun and quirks. Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield will also return as Malcolm’s older brothers, while Kiana Madeira takes on the role of Malcolm's girlfriend. Additionally, Riverdale star Anthony Timpano will join as Jamie, with Vaughan Murrae portraying Kelly, the youngest sibling. As anticipation mounts, fans are eager to see how the show's charm will be revived with its new cast dynamics.
