An iconic 2000s TV series is being revived, and actors like Bryan Cranston, Frankie Muniz, and others will be in Vancouver for the shoot beginning next month.
Do you know what show we’re talking about? Yes? No? Maybe? You don’t know? Should we repeat the question?
It’s Malcolm in the Middle. We could’ve just told you that off the bat, but we needed to reference the iconic theme song that won a Grammy in 2002.
The show helped catapult Cranston to new heights before taking on the iconic role of Walter White in Breaking Bad. According to Creative BC, the shoot is expected to last about one month between April and May and will be shot at Vancouver Film Studios at 3500 Cornett Rd.
Variety says it won’t be an extended trip back to the world of Wilkerson, as it reports that this new season will have four episodes that will air on Disney+. Variety has also learned what the premise for these four episodes will be.
Cranston will be joined by at least a couple of central Malcolm in the Middle characters in Vancouver, with the same actors reprising their roles 25 years later.
The reboot of sorts will focus on Hal (Cranston) and Lois’ (Jane Kaczmarek) 40th wedding anniversary party. Malcolm (Muniz) now has a daughter, and the pair is drawn into more family chaos because of this anniversary party.
What’s particularly serendipitous about this is that Cranston was actually in Vancouver last year celebrating his real-life 35th wedding anniversary with his wife, Robin Deardon.
Variety adds that the original show received a whopping 33 Emmy Award nominations.
It is not currently known whether other iconic characters like Dewey, Malcolm’s other siblings, or Malcolm’s friend Stevie will make an appearance, but we won’t have to wait too long to find out.
A premiere date has yet to be revealed, since life is unfair.
