‘Malcolm in the Middle’ Returns: Masterson & Berfield Join Revival, Dewey Played by Caleb Ellsworth-Clark

Malcolm in the Middle revival features returning stars, fresh faces, and a big casting shake-up. The

Variety reports that Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield will return for the Disney+ revival of the classic sitcom, reprising their roles as Francis and Reese.

Erik Per Sullivan will not be returning as Dewey. Instead, Caleb Ellsworth-Clark (Fargo, The Expanse) will take on the role in the revival of the four-episode Disney Branded Television.

Anthony Timpano (Riverdale, Nancy Drew), Vaughan Murrae (Before I Change My Mind, The Way Home), and Keeley Karsten (The Fabelmans, Hunters) will also join the cast. Timpano portrays Malcolm’s youngest brother, Jamie, while Murray plays his youngest sibling, Kelly. Karsten takes on the role of Malcolm’s daughter, Leah.

Frankie Muniz will return as Malcolm, with Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek reprising their roles as parents Hal and Lois. Variety also revealed that Kiana Madeira will star as Tristan, Malcolm’s girlfriend.

Ellsworth-Clark is represented by Integral Artists, Timpano by The Characters Talent Agency, Murrae by Oscars Abrams Zimel & Associates Inc., and Karsten by Brillstein Entertainment Partners and Buchwald.

Jamie debuted in Season 4 of Malcolm in the Middle, while Kelly is a new character, teased in the series finale when it was revealed that Hal and Lois were expecting their sixth child.

Kelly is described as “the youngest child of Lois and Hal, who is independent, excels in school, and is already wiser than most of the family.” Leah is “Malcolm’s daughter, inheriting his sharp sarcasm, impulsiveness, and exceptional intelligence, but with a more sensitive and emotional side.”

Per Sullivan’s absence from the revival isn’t surprising, as he largely stepped away from acting after Malcolm in the Middle ended in 2006. His last on-screen role was in the 2010 film Twelve, and he has also been notably absent from past cast reunions over the years.

Production on Malcolm in the Middle is set to begin in the coming weeks in Vancouver. According to the official logline, “Malcolm and his daughter are pulled into the family’s chaos when Hal and Lois insist on his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.”

Series creator Linwood Boomer returns as writer and executive producer. Bryan Cranston, Tracy Katsky (KatCo), Gail Berman, and New Regency’s Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan, and Natalie Lehmann also serve as executive producers. Ken Kwapis will direct all four episodes and executive produce. Jimmy Simons and Laura Delahaye join as co-executive producers. The limited series is produced by 20th Television and New Regency.

The Malcolm in the Middle revival blends nostalgia with fresh twists. With original stars returning, a recast Dewey, and new family members, the series promises classic chaos. Led by creator Linwood Boomer, the four-episode event will bring humor and heart, making it a must-watch for both longtime fans and newcomers.
