Bryan Cranston returns as Hal in ‘Malcolm in the Middle' revival: 'I missed him'
Bryan Cranston is officially back as Hal Wilkerson in the upcoming Malcolm in the Middle revival series. In a new interview with People published on May 25, Cranston described his return to the iconic role as 'so rewarding.' 'Slipping back into that character of Hal for me was so rewarding — I missed him,' Cranston said. 'It's been almost 20 years since we said goodbye. He's a sweet, lovable man, and it was fun to see my whole family back together. It was great.' Cranston even shared a personal touch he used to reconnect with Hal's quirky personality — wearing one of Hal's signature short-sleeve patterned shirts. 'It screams out he's not going anywhere,' he joked. The Malcolm in the Middle revival brings back much of the original cast, including Frankie Muniz, Jane Kaczmarek, Christopher Masterson, and Justin Berfield. Newcomer Caleb Ellsworth-Clark takes over the role of Dewey, and two new characters join the mix: Malcolm's daughter Leah, played by The Fabelmans star Keeley Karsten, and a new sibling, Kelly, portrayed by Vaughan Murrae. The limited-run series is being produced by 20th Television and New Regency. Series creator Linwood Boomer returns as writer and executive producer, alongside Bryan Cranston and a team including Tracy Katsky, Gail Berman, Arnon Milchan, and Ken Kwapis, who will direct all four episodes.

'Malcolm in the Middle" Revival Cast Revealed
Yara Sameh The 'Malcolm in the Middle' revival is bringing back some familiar faces and introducing a few new ones — and making one major casting change. Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield are returning for the Disney+ update of the classic sitcom, reprising the roles of Francis and Reese, respectively. However, Erik Per Sullivan will officially not be returning as Dewey. Instead, Caleb Ellsworth-Clark ('Fargo,' 'The Expanse') will take over the role for the four-episode revival from Disney Branded Television. In addition, Anthony Timpano ('Riverdale,' 'Nancy Drew'), Vaughan Murrae ('Before I Change My Mind,' 'The Way Home'), and Keeley Karsten ('The Fabelmans,' 'Hunters') will also star. Timpano will play Malcolm's youngest brother, Jamie, while Murrae will play Malcolm's youngest sibling, Kelly. Karsten will play Malcolm's daughter, Leah. Frankie Muniz is returning in the title role, with Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek set play parents Hal and Lois once again. Variety also exclusively reported that Kiana Madeira will star as Tristan, Malcolm's girlfriend. Jamie was introduced in the fourth season of 'Malcolm in the Middle,' while Kelly is a new character whose presence was hinted at in the series finale when it was revealed Hal and Lois were expecting a sixth child. Kelly is further described as 'the youngest child of Lois and Hal, who is self-sufficient, gets good grades and already wiser than most of the family.' Leah is said to be 'the daughter of Malcolm and has the same sarcastic humor, same impulsiveness and the same frighteningly high intelligence as him, but she's far more sensitive and emotional.' Per Sullivan not returning to the series is not surprising, given that he largely gave up acting following the conclusion of 'Malcolm in the Middle' in 2006. His last onscreen credit came in 2010 with the feature 'Twelve.' He has also been absent from past cast reunions of the series over the years. 'Malcolm in the Middle' is set to begin production in the coming weeks in Vancouver. The official logline for the new episodes states, 'Malcolm and his daughter are drawn into the family's chaos when Hal and Lois demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.' Linwod Boomer created the original series and returns as writer and executive producer on the revival. Cranston, Tracy Katsky of 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 and New Regency. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
