Bryan Cranston sounds ready to revisit Hal, his lovable patriarch of Fox’s Malcolm in the middle.
During a interview of E! News published online Friday, the Emmy-winning actor said he’d heard talk about reviving the hit comedy, and made it clear he’d love to explore more from the series if the opportunity felt right. Cranston is currently promoting Showtime’s Your honorwhich launches its second and final season later this month.
“There was some talk about the possibility of making it into a reunion movie Malcolm in the middleCranston said. “We had such a great family, and I’d definitely be open to that if a good idea came along like, ‘Oh, that would be fantastic to explore what happened to this family 20 years later.’ I can’t believe it already is, but it would be fun to do.”
Malcolm in the middle, which debuted in January 2000 and ran for seven seasons, also starred Frankie Muniz (Malcolm), Jane Kaczmarek (Lois), Christopher Masterson (Francis), Justin Berfield (Reese), and Erik Per Sullivan (Dewey). It was Cranston’s breakthrough role before AMC’s Break bad became his defining project.
During an interview in October, Muniz told Fox News that he would love to revisit his TV family, and that he felt he wasn’t the only one who felt that way.
“I know Bryan Cranston is really into the idea, and he’s writing the script and getting everything rolling,” Muniz said at the time. ‘So maybe there’s something. I would be 100 percent down.
