Frankie Muniz Says MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE Reboot Is Closer Than Ever and Addresses the Delay
A reboot of the fan-favorite sitcom Malcolm in the Middle has been in talks for quite some time, with Emmy-winner TV dad Bryan Cranston making several references to the fact that we could expect to see the show return soon, but there’s still nothing official on the schedule. Now, the show’s star, Frankie Muniz, who played the show’s namesake, is giving us new hope.
The child actor, and current professional racecar driver told Pedestrian.tv of the revival:
“Without giving away too much because there’s nothing confirmed, but it’s the closest it’s ever been to being a reality. If it’s going to happen, it’ll happen soon but you know, we’ve also been saying that for eight years.”
He went on to talk about why it’s taken so long to get the reboot off the ground, saying:
“We don’t want to just be one of the many shows that got rebooted over the last couple of years that probably shouldn’t have had a reboot. So if we do it, that’s the biggest thing, we want to make sure it’s good. With an iconic show like we had, you don’t want to taint it. You want to have the same impact for the people who would want to watch it and make sure we make a good product.”
There are a few good examples of reboots out there that fans have enjoyed, so it’s definitely doable. Hopefully the whole cast returns, and they get to tell a great story that fans will enjoy.
