The Wilkersons are back.
Frankie Muniz and company will descend on Vancouver next month as the city will provide the backdrop for a new season of Malcolm in the Middle.
The iconic "life isn't fair" early-to-mid-2000s sitcom is getting a four-episode mini-series, as announced by Disney Branded Television last December, and will be streamed on Disney+ when finished.
Most of the original dysfunctional-family cast is joining Muniz nearly 20 years after the show's last season.
This includes Jane Kaczmarek reprising her role as Lois, Justin Berfield as Reese, and, of course, two-time Golden Globe and six-time Emmy Award-winner Bryan Cranston as Hal.
Malcolm in the Middle will begin shooting April 13 at Vancouver Film Studios at 3500 Cornett Rd, according to Creative BC's latest local production list.
Filming is expected to run until May 15.
The show debuted in 2000, and ran for seven seasons and 151 episodes until 2006. It's cancellation due to a decline in viewership was widely speculated.
The upcoming revival is set to follow Malcolm's return, alongside his daughter, to his childhood home to celebrate his parents' 40th wedding anniversary.
Ken Kwapis (The Office) is set to direct at the Vancouver set with executive producers Gail Berman, Linwood Boomer, Tracy Katsky-Boomer and Jimmy Simmons.
