‘Malcolm In The Middle’ Revival Sets Malcolm’s Siblings & Daughter As Christopher Masterson & Justin Berfield Return And Dewey Is Recast
deadline.comDisney Branded Television has rounded out The Wilkersons for the upcoming limited, four-episode revival of Malcolm In the Middle on Disney+, which will reveal the sex and name of the quirky family’s sixth child.
Original cast members Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield are set to reprise their roles as Malcolm’s older brothers Francis and Reese, respectively, joining Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek who are back as Malcolm and the Wilkerson parents Hal and Lois, respectively. Caleb Ellsworth-Clark is taking over the role of genius Malcolm’s (Muniz) younger brother, Dewey.
The recasting is not surprising. Erik Per Sullivan, who played the role on the original series, was not expected to return as he quit acting in 2010 and has not participated in any of the Malcolm In the Middle reunions. Anthony Timpano has been cast as Malcolm’s youngest brother, Jamie, who was seen as a baby and toddler on the original series.
And Vaughan Murrae has been cast as Malcolm’s youngest sibling, Kelly whose existence was revealed in the series finale when the boys’ mom, Lois, holds a positive pregnancy test.
