Malcolm in the Middle to Return for 25th Anniversary; Game Show Network Holiday Schedule
Almost 25 years after its original debut, Disney Branded Television announced the return of the beloved family comedy Malcolm in the Middle for a limited, four-episode run on Disney+ globally. From 20th Television and New Regency, the new episodes will see the return of original cast members Frankie Muniz as Malcolm, Bryan Cranston as Hal, and Jane Kaczmarek as Lois. A premiere date will be announced at a later time. The original Malcolm in the Middle saw young genius Malcolm trying to navigate life with his quirky, often difficult family. In these brand-new episodes, Malcolm and his daughter are drawn into the family's chaos when Hal and Lois demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party. The comedy originally debuted on Fox in 2000, pioneering the single-camera format and paving the way for other hit sitcoms like The Office and 30 Rock. Over the course of its seven seasons, the series received widespread critical acclaim, winning a Peabody Award, seven EmmyⓇ Awards, one GRAMMY AwardⓇ and seven Golden GlobeⓇ nominations. Recently, users on the popular Reddit/TV thread overwhelmingly deemed it the single best sitcom ever with a perfect run from start to finish. All 151 episodes are available to stream on Hulu or via Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers.
