The heartwarming reunion of “Malcolm in the Middle” stars Bryan Cranston and Frankie Muniz has fueled speculation about a potential reboot of the beloved series. In a touching video shared online, Muniz is seen holding a crate of Cranston and Aaron Paul’s Dos Hombres Mezcal, as all three share a sweet moment together.
The reunion comes amid rumors of a reboot, which Muniz himself ignited during an appearance on the Bialik Breakdown podcast with Mayim Bialik. Muniz expressed his enthusiasm for revisiting the characters, stating his willingness to reprise his role as Malcolm if a revival were to happen. He also revealed attempts to initiate a reboot a decade ago, with ideas of Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek returning as well.

However, the main obstacle seems to be the show’s creator, Linwood Boomer, who, while supportive, is hesitant to pursue a reboot himself. Muniz emphasized the importance of the storyline making sense, expressing his desire to avoid becoming just another unnecessary reboot.
Muniz’s openness to a revival echoes sentiments he expressed in 2022, indicating his continued fondness for the show and his willingness to explore its potential return.
