Malcolm in the Middle is returning, but with one big change

  • A revival of Malcolm in the Middle is set to begin filming, with most of the original cast returning.
  • Erik Per Sullivan, who played Dewey, will not be reprising his role. Caleb Ellsworth-Clark will play Dewey in the revival.
  • Sullivan's departure is reportedly due to his disinterest in pursuing acting further, having chosen to focus on academic pursuits.
  • The four-episode reboot will air on Disney+, focussing on Malcolm and his daughter amidst family chaos surrounding Hal and Lois's 40th wedding anniversary.
  • The revival aims to recapture the humour and heart of the original series, with some “new surprises”, according to Disney.
