Malcolm in the Middle fans 'crying' after Frankie Muniz reunites with co-stars
The family sitcom ran for seven seasons from 2000 until 2006, and followed a dysfunctional working-class family in the US.
It will be getting the reboot treatment, with the 39-year-old reprising his role alongside on-screen parents Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek, who played Hal and Lois respectively.
Taking to Instagram off the back of a tough weekend, he posted a sweet snap as they enjoyed a catch up ahead of the new batch of episodes.
'Always good to have Mom and Dad around!!,' the Agent Cody Banks star captioned the post.
Frankie's comment section was immediately flooded with replies from viewers, thrilled to see the trio back together.
_arcadi0 wrote: 'I started watching Malcom last week, took me back to childhood. Now seeing this picture makes a grown man want to cry.'
'My goodness. I feel like I'm 12 again just looking at you guys,' Miss.Lore.Author commented.
Bibout182 agreed: 'The family is back together and I couldn't be happier to see it.'
Sinhua.xcn said: 'So Nice! Malcolm in the middle was my childhood. So happy to see this picture and looking forward to the new episodes!'
LilaWrights penned: 'Nobody understands how big of a deal this is I'm gonna pee my pants [sic].'
As the official Disney+ account simply added: 'Crying in excitement for this reunion!'
Despite being a huge presence on our screens when he was younger, Frankie has switched things up in recent years, swapping Hollywood sets for NASCAR.
He made his debut in the front seat in 2021, and has been racing up a storm on the tracks in recent months, landing a 10th place finish back in February.
It is set to be a busy time for the Big Fat Liar star as he will be splitting his time between the race track and all things Malcolm – ahead of the revival. More Trending
Disney + reportedly ordered a four-part reboot, but it is not clear when the episodes will be released, or what they will focus on.
The logline reads: 'Malcolm (Muniz) and his daughter are drawn into the family's chaos when Hal (Cranston) and Lois (Kaczmarek) demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.'
We can see their milestone bash going terribly wrong…

Frankie Bridge uses 'best concealer' as fans hail her 'goddess of beauty'
Loose Women star Frankie Bridge has been sharing her go-to beauty buys on social media, including a £28 concealer that 'covers all imperfections' Frankie Bridge fans have been desperate to know which products the ITV star used in a recent clip she shared to social media. The Loose Women panellist posted a makeup tutorial on Instagram earlier this month, showing her followers what items she loves to use on holiday. Frankie could be seen using Estée Lauder's Double Wear Concealer that can be purchased on Sephora from £28. This beauty buy has been hailed as the 'best concealer' by several reviewers, and it boasts an average overall rating of 4.5 out of five stars. The oil-free concealer comes in eight shades and is said to offer transfer-resistant, medium coverage in a matte finish. Frankie listed all of the makeup products she applied during her Instagram video in a post on shopping app LTK. Other items the former Saturdays singer used include the KOSAS Cloud Set Airy Setting Mist which costs £34 on Cult Beauty. This top-rated product promises to lock makeup in place for up to 12 hours. Frankie also featured the £32 Vieve Modern Radiance Cream Bronzer which comes in light to deep shades. The lightweight formula is enriched with nourishing ingredients to leave skin smooth. For those looking to emulate Frankie's look with other concealers, I swear by the Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Concealer for £26 at Boots. One reviewer said of the product: "Amazing, perfect shade match and very hydrating." Our beauty team also love the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer that's £28 on LookFantastic. It's described as long-wearing and provides medium to full coverage. With 30 shades available, shoppers can find a colour for every skin tone. Beauty fans were swooning over Frankie's holiday makeup look after she posted her tutorial to Instagram, with one person saying: "You are like the goddess of beauty!" Another was keen to buy the items Frankie applied, saying: "Frankie could you link all the products you used please?" In reviews for the ITV star's Estée Lauder concealer, shoppers have raved about how how the long-lasting the product is. One person said: A little goes a long way! Lasts all day and great coverage." A second wrote: "I have been using this product for the last 5 years. It is the best concealer that I have used. I am satisfied and happy with it." However, someone else wasn't as pleased, adding: "Great product, I found it a little thin and coverage doesn't last all day." Another customer did enjoy their purchase though, writing: "I have tried every concealer out there and this one is my favourite. It truly covers all my imperfections. I am 57 and I won't buy any other brand. I absolutely love this product."

Where Disney+'s Alien: Earth falls in the Alien timeline explained
What year is Alien: Earth set? Where Disney+ series falls in the Alien timeline explained Alien: Earth expands on the hit space horror series like never before, but when is it set compared to the Alien films? Alien: Earth, one of the most critically acclaimed new streaming series of the year, is a spin-off from Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi horror classic that spawned its own franchise. After over 40 years of scaring audiences, the bloody space horror has made its small screen debut as Alien's first ever live-action series, courtesy of FX. Last Wednesday (13th August), two episodes premiered on Disney+, introducing viewers to Wendy (portrayed by Sydney Chandler), a synthetic human with the consciousness of a young girl. When a research vessel carrying valuable and lethal cargo crashes on Earth, Wendy leads a group of hybrids known as the Lost Boys on a daring rescue mission in hopes of reuniting with her brother, Hermit (Alex Lawther). As Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley's new series is set to broaden the Alien franchise like never before, let's figure out where exactly the series fits into the franchise's complex continuity, reports the Mirror. The Xenomorph sadly feels like less of a threat this time around (Image: FX) Article continues below What year is Alien: Earth set in? Alien: Earth takes place in the not-too-distant future, specifically the year 2120. Building upon the groundwork of the original film, the series portrays a grim vision of the future where Earth and the colonised Solar System are ruled by five corporations following the collapse of global governments. The remaining episodes will track the aftermath of the USCSS Maginot's crash landing on Earth after a 65-year expedition in search of alien lifeforms across the galaxy. The catalyst for the series is set in 2055, just before the earliest year of the Alien franchise we've seen so far... The timeline officially begins with Prometheus, set in 2089-2093 (Image: 20TH CENTURY FOX) Where does the series fall in the Alien timeline? Excluding the Alien vs Predator films, which are set in 2004 and aren't considered official canon, the Alien timeline kicks off with the 2012 film Prometheus. This prequel delves into the origins of the Xenomorphs and follows a journey to the remote moon LV-223 that starts in 2089 and reaches its destination in December 2093. Prometheus was succeeded by Alien: Covenant, which brought audiences back together with Michael Fassbender's menacing android David 11 years later, in 2104. Therefore, Alien: Earth is set 16 years after the events of Covenant, in 2120, although the events of the film and series haven't connected... yet. The franchise kicked off with Ellen Ripley's escape from the Nostromo in 2122 (Image: 20TH CENTURY FOX) In chronological order, Alien: Earth leads into the very first film in the franchise, Alien, which was released in 1979 and set in 2122, where a rescue mission to the moon LV-426 ends disastrously. While some viewers might presume James Cameron's 1986 classic Aliens would be the next film in the timeline, the release of Alien: Romulus last year filled the gap as it's set in 2142, introducing fans to Marie Raines 'Rain' Carradine (Cailee Spaeny) and her android 'brother' Andy (David Jonsson).

Aliens is next, with Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) returning to a newly colonised LV-426 in 2179 after being rescued from cryosleep. The 1992 film Alien 3 picks up shortly after the events of Aliens, once again set in 2179 when Ripley crash lands on Fiorina 'Fury' 161, a desolate world where she becomes a prisoner. Alien: Resurrection ends the timeline in 2381 - but could it go further? (Image: 20TH CENTURY FOX) The franchise's most distant future was depicted in the 1997 film Alien: Resurrection, where a cloned Ripley awakens in the year 2381, a staggering 202 years following her demise. Will Alien: Earth propel the franchise even further into the future? Keep an eye out each week to discover more. Article continues below Alien: Earth continues Wednesdays on Disney+.
