You’re still not the boss of me now.
Frankie Muniz took to social media this week to share a touching photo of his reunion with his “Malcolm in the Middle” mom and dad.
“Always good to have Mom and Dad around!” Muniz, 39, captioned a picture of himself, Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek that he shared to X on Tuesday.
The photo marks the first behind-the-scenes look to come from the “Malcolm in the Middle” revival since Muniz, Cranston, 69, and Kaczmarek, also 69, first announced the beloved sitcom’s return back in December.
“Twenty-five years since we premiered ‘Malcolm in the Middle,’” the trio said in an announcement video at the time. “I’m so excited… that I may have peed just a little bit.”
“What a delight that I get to yell at that kid again!” they added. “We’re very, very excited about coming back together and seeing what this family has been up to.”
But Muniz, Cranston and Kaczmarek are not the only original “Malcolm in the Middle” cast members to reprise their respective roles of Malcolm, Hal and Lois Wilkerson, because Christopher Masterson (Francis) and Justin Berfield (Reese) are also set to return for the four-episode Disney+ series.
The only member of the Wilkerson family not to return to their original role is Erik Per Sullivan, who played Dewey in all seven seasons of the Fox show’s original 2000-2006 run.
Per Sullivan, 33, retired from acting back in 2010. Although the former Dewey actor likes to keep a low profile, he was spotted stepping out for a cup of coffee in Boston earlier this month.
“I admire it because so many people think being in show business is the greatest thing in the world,” Kaczmarek said last year regarding Per Sullivan’s decision to retire from Hollywood. “It’s not for everyone.”
Actor Caleb Ellsworth-Clark is now set to take over the role of Dewey for the “Malcolm in the Middle” revival, per Variety.
Muniz’s return as the titular Malcolm for the “Malcolm in the Middle” revival came as a surprise, considering his recent career pivot from acting to race car driving.
The “Agent Cody Banks” star made the surprising announcement late last year.
“I’m extremely excited to announce that I will be racing full-time next season in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series,” he said during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” in October. “It’s a dream come true. It’s something that I’ve always wanted to do. I’m thrilled. I can’t wait.”
Muniz then took to social media on Monday to say that he has hit a mental and emotional “new low” amid his new career as a NASCAR driver.
“If I’m being 100% honest … Mentally/emotionally I may be at a new low,” he wrote on X. “Just wanted to say it out loud.”
