The Malcolm in the Middle revival is set to begin filming in Vancouver in the next few weeks, with one major change from the cast of the original series.
Frankie Muniz is set to reprise the title role, with Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek also returning as his parents.
However, Variety reports that Erik Per Sullivan, who played youngest brother Dewey in the beloved family sitcom, will not return. His role will be filled by Fargo actor Caleb Ellsworth-Clark.
Christopher Masterson, who played oldest brother Francis, and Justin Berfield, who played Reese, will both return.
Sullivan’s absence appears to be because of his decision to move away from acting as a career. Last year, Kaczmarek spoke to fan site Malcolm France about Sullivan and said: “He’s well, he’s very, very well… He did Malcolm for seven years, he started at seven, he ended at 14. He wasn’t interested in acting, at all.
