No one is the boss of Frankie Muniz now.
The racecar driver and star of Malcolm in the Middle shared a heartwarming family reunion photo on Thursday — minus the recast Dewey — ratcheting up excitement for the forthcoming revival series even further.
“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 and Christopher Masterson, from the last day of filming on the revival’s Vancouver set.
Entertainment Weekly has reached out to representatives for Muniz and Disney+ for comment.
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.”
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).

Malcolm in the Middle ran for seven seasons on Fox, from 2000-2006.
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, reboot, or sequel series, Disney+ ordered more Malcolm from original series creator Linwood Boomer in December.

Production on the revival wrapped in May, though a premiere date for the revival has yet to be announced.
In September, Muniz teased 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.”
