No one is the boss of Frankie Muniz<\/a> now.\n<\/p>\n

The racecar driver and star of Malcolm in the Middle<\/a> shared a heartwarming family reunion photo on Thursday \u2014 minus the recast Dewey \u2014 ratcheting up excitement for the forthcoming revival series even further.\n<\/p>\n

“I was told not to post this yet, but then I remembered the theme song. I’m just too excited for y’all to see the new episodes and I miss my brothers,” Muniz wrote over a posed shot with his older brothers from the beloved coming-of-age comedy, Justin Berfield<\/a> and Christopher Masterson<\/a>, from the last day of filming on the revival’s Vancouver set.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Entertainment Weekly has reached out to representatives for Muniz and Disney+ for comment.\n<\/p>\n

The Malcolm in the Middle theme song, composed and performed by They Might Be Giants, crescendoes with the rebellious chorus chant of, “You’re not the boss of me now \/ You’re not the boss of me now.”\n<\/p>\n

The series followed the misbegotten exploits of the titular middle child, as he struggles to grow up with a level head on his shoulders and make his voice heard amid the chaos caused by younger brother Dewey (Erik Per Sullivan), and older brothers Francis (Masterson) and Reese (Berfield).\n<\/p>\n

Malcolm in the Middle ran for seven seasons on Fox, from 2000-2006.\n<\/p>\n

The series was both popular and critically acclaimed during its run, picking up a Peabody Award, seven Emmys, and even a Grammy. After years of stray comments from various cast members signaling their interest in a possible revival<\/a>, reboot, or sequel series, Disney+ ordered more Malcolm from original series creator Linwood Boomer in December. \n<\/p>\n

Production on the revival wrapped in May, though a premiere date for the\u00a0revival has yet to be announced.\n<\/p>\n

In September, Muniz teased<\/a> that “people will be surprised, in a sense, where everybody is and the story. But it’s only four episodes.” The Emmy nominee acknowledged that “it’s hard to fit in 20 years of stuff in four 30-minute episodes,” but promised that fans “are going to be very happy with what they came up with.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"No one is the boss of Frankie Muniz now.
