Frankie Muniz can’t wait for people to see the “Malcolm in the Middle” revival.
So much so that he ignored restrictions on posting behind-the-scenes photos.
Muniz shared a picture he took with co-stars Justin Berfield and Christopher Masterson, who play his brothers in the original series and the new show, titled “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair.”
Muniz, a Ridgewood native who grew up in North Carolina, posted the photo with the original show’s Grammy-winning theme song, “Boss of Me” by They Might Be Giants.
(Chorus: “You’re not the boss of me now, you’re not the boss of me now, you’re not the boss of me now and you’re not so big.“)
“I was told not to post this yet, but then I listened to this song,” said Muniz, 39 (see below). “I’m just too excited for y’all to see the new episodes and I miss my brothers.”
Berfield, 39, plays Reese and Masterson, 45, plays Francis.
Muniz, of course, is Malcolm — the role that launched him to stardom as a child in the Fox comedy, which aired for seven seasons, from 2000 to 2006. The character was introduced as a child prodigy.

Jane Kaczmarek is also returning for the revival as Lois, mother to Malcolm and his siblings.
So is Bryan Cranston — Walter White himself — who plays their dad, Hal.
Erik Per Sullivan played Malcolm, Reese and Francis’ younger brother Dewey, but he’s not returning for the series revival.
Sullivan, now 34, has since left acting.
Caleb Ellsworth-Clark will play Dewey in the new series, which was announced in December 2024 ahead of the show’s 25th anniversary.
At the time, Muniz, Cranston and Kaczmarek shared the news in a video as Malcolm, Hal and Lois, with Kaczmarek shouting “Malcolm!!!” in her signature style.
“Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair” premieres with four episodes this December on Disney+ (date pending).
Jamie, the youngest sibling on the original show, who was a toddler when it ended, will be played by Anthony Timpano. Lukas and James Rodriguez played the character in the Fox series.
The revival brings a new sibling — Kelly, Malcolm’s new youngest sibling, played by Vaughan Murrae.
New episodes of Malcolm’s continuing adventures with his family were filmed this year in Vancouver (the original show filmed in the Los Angeles area).
