"Malcolm in the Middle" is having a family reunion.
The Emmy-nominated sitcom, which aired on Fox for seven seasons from 2000 to 2006, is set to return with four new episodes on Disney+. No premiere date has been announced.
The original series followed an eccentric American family with five sons, including gifted genius Malcolm (played by Frankie Muniz), led by parents Hal (Bryan Cranston) and Lois (Jane Kaczmarek). All three will return for the new episodes; no further casting unveiled.
The new Disney episodes will follow Malcolm and his daughter, who get wrapped up in the family's typical chaos "when Hal and Lois demand his presence for their 40thwedding anniversary party," the streaming service says.
"Malcolm in the Middle literally changed the face of the television comedy landscape when it premiered two decades ago, redefining what the genre could be," 20th Century Television President Karey Burke said in a statement Friday.

'Malcom in the Middle' star FrankieMuniz announces full-time NASCAR career
She continued: "When (creator) Linwood Boomer suggested it might be time to bring everyone’s favorite dysfunctional family back for a bit of a reunion, we couldn’t think of a more iconic and influential series to revisit, along with a truly brilliant cast to reunite."
The return of "Malcolm" marks a brief return to acting for Muniz.
The "Agent Cody Banks" star, 38, announced in October that he would pursue a full-time NASCAR driving career. Muniz will join Reaume Brothers Racing as the driver of the No. 33 F-150 in the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
Muniz, though, is used to shifting gears, telling Fox News' "Fox & Friends" about the transition this fall.
"If I'm going to race full time against drivers who, this is their lives, I've got to dedicate myself the same way that they are. I can't be part-time," Muniz told "Fox & Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade. "You can't kind of act on the side and do this. If you want to be really, really good at anything, you've got to dedicate yourself to it, and that's what I'm doing."
