With the upcoming reboot of Malcolm in the Middle, Frankie Muniz is officially back in the acting game.
The 2x Golden Globe nominee, who previously put his Hollywood career on hold to pursue NASCAR racing, revealed on Friday that he’s wrapped the first season of the Disney+ revival, during which he was reminded “how much I truly love being an actor.”
“Just wrapped filming the Malcolm in the Middle reboot, and man, I’m still reeling. This experience was straight-up incredible—like stepping back into Malcolm’s wild world but with all the love and chaos cranked to 11. Reuniting with the cast, getting to know some new characters, laughing till it hurt, and making new memories on set felt like a dream I didn’t want to wake up from. It went by so fast, like a blur of perfect moments. I wish it could go on forever,” he wrote on X.
“I’m so happy to have gotten the chance to relive being on this show with a greater appreciation of what we were making knowing how many people around the world truly love Malcolm and his family. Another big thing I am taking away from this experience is how much I truly love being an actor. I never officially felt like that label fit me, but now I wear that label proudly and hope to do so much more of it in the future. I am so sad to have to say goodbye to my MITM crew, I love each and everyone of you.

“And PS: Life’s Still Unfair,” added Muniz, referencing the OG show’s theme song ‘Boss of Me’ by They Might Be Giants. “I had so many incredible pictures of all the cast I wanted to post but Disney won’t let me…. So imagine a picture of all of us together, having the time of our lives!”

Ahead of the show’s 25th anniversary, a Disney+ revival was announced for a limited, four-episode run in December, with Muniz returning as Malcolm, alongside Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek reprising their roles as his parents Hal and Lois.
After the cast was rounded out in March, Muniz shared a behind-the-scenes photo with his onscreen parents last month. “Always good to have Mom and Dad around!!” he captioned the pic.
Malcolm in the Middle ran for seven seasons on Fox from 2000 to 2006, starring Muniz as the titular gifted child growing up with three brothers in a middle-class home.
