Malcolm in the Middle (Franchise)

Malcolm in the Middle is an American sitcom created by Linwood Boomer that ran on Fox from 2000 to 2006, spanning seven seasons and 151 episodes. The show follows Malcolm, a gifted boy played by Frankie Muniz, as he navigates life with his eccentric and dysfunctional family, including parents Lois (Jane Kaczmarek) and Hal (Bryan Cranston) and brothers Francis, Reese, and Dewey. Widely acclaimed for its originality, it won multiple awards, including a Peabody and seven Emmys, and was notable for using a single-camera format without a laugh track. A four-episode revival titled Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair is in development for Disney+, with new actors stepping in as Dewey and Jamie.
