The Malcolm in the Middle revival has rounded out its cast of Wilkerson family members, which includes original cast mates as well as newcomers.
Original cast members Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield are set to reprise their roles as Malcolm’s brothers Francis and Reese, respectively, joining Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek who are back as Malcolm and the Wilkerson parents Hal and Lois, respectively.
Caleb Ellsworth-Clark is taking over the role of genius Malcolm’s (Muniz) brother, Dewey. The move was expected. Erik Per Sullivan, who played the role on the original series, was not expected to return as he quit acting in 2010 and has not participated in any of the Malcolm In the Middle reunions.
Anthony Timpano has been cast as Malcolm’s youngest brother, Jamie, who was seen as a baby and toddler on the original series. And Vaughan Murrae has been cast as Malcolm’s youngest sibling, Kelly, whose existence was revealed in the series finale when the boys’ mom, Lois, holds a positive pregnancy test.
Kelly, who, along with Murrae, is non-binary, is described as self-sufficient, gets good grades and is already wiser than most of the family.
Additionally, Keeley Karsten has landed a key role in the revival as Malcolm’s daughter, Leah. In addition to Muniz, Cranston and Kaczmarek, the newly cast actors join Kiana Madeira, who is playing Malcolm’s girlfriend.
From 20th Television and New Regency, the Malcolm In the Middle revival will feature Malcolm (Muniz) and his daughter (Karsten) as they are drawn into the family’s chaos when Hal (Cranston) and Lois (Kaczmarek) demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.
Malcolm In the Middle creator Linwood Boomer returns as writer and executive producer. The four-episode revival is set to begin shooting in April, and is looking to be released later this year.
