Malcolm in the Middle’s plucky atтιтude made it one of the most iconic TV shows of the early 2000s — and fans are still trying to keep up with the cast.
The comedy, which was a faux memoir of middle child Malcolm Wilkerson (Frankie Muniz), detailed the Wilkerson family’s low-income, dysfunctional life and all the highs and lows that came with it. The sitcom reminded viewers that all families are complicated — but even the most wild relatives can’t out crazy the Wilkersons.
Throughout its seven-season run, which lasted from 2000 to 2006, the series earned 33 Emmy nominations, seven wins and seven Golden Globe nominations. Muniz brought to life whiz kid Malcolm but the Wilkerson squad also consisted of two older brothers — Francis Wilkerson (Christopher Masterson) and Reese Wilkerson (Justin Berfield) — and the baby, Dewey Wilkerson (Erik Per Sullivan). Cloris Leachman rounded out the cast as grandma Ida.

More than a decade after Malcolm in the Middle came to an end, the Wilkerson family is still on the minds of many of the show’s diehard fans and in December 2024 Disney+ ordered a limited, four-episode revival featuring Muniz, Cranston and Kaczmarek.
