Frankie Muniz is fueling anticipation for the upcoming Malcolm in the Middle revival, sharing a heartwarming reunion photo with his on-screen brothers, Justin Berfield (Reese) and Christopher Masterson (Francis). The spontaneous post, shared from the last day of filming on the new limited series, immediately sent waves of nostalgia across social media.

The former child star, now a professional racecar driver, acknowledged that he was told not to post the image, but he simply couldn’t contain his excitement—a defiant gesture perfectly captured by the show’s theme song. “I was told not to post this yet, but then I remembered the theme song,” Muniz wrote on Instagram, referencing the iconic chorus, “You’re not the boss of me now.”

The four-episode revival, titled Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair, is set to debut on Disney+ in 2026. It will feature the return of the core cast, including Bryan Cranston (Hal) and Jane Kaczmarek (Lois), with the storyline picking up 25 years after the original series finale. While Erik Per Sullivan will not be reprising his role as Dewey, Muniz’s heartfelt post emphasizes the genuine bond between the actors, promising a chaotic but loving family reunion that fans have waited almost two decades to see.
