The cast of Malcolm in the Middle

Revivals feel almost inevitable now. Variety is reporting that Malcolm in the Middle is the latest series to be revived, this time at Disney+ with Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, and Jane Kaczmarek all set to return. The streamer has ordered four new episodes of the sitcom, with no premiere date announced yet. According to the official logline for the series: “Malcolm (Muniz) and his daughter are drawn into the family’s chaos when Hal (Cranston) and Lois (Kaczmarek) demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.”

This revival comes from Linwood Boomer, who also created the original show. The show originally aired on Fox from 2000 to 2006 and starred Muniz, Cranston, Kaczmarek, Justin Berfield, Erik Per Sullivan, and Christopher Masterson. It followed a chaotic family, and starred Muniz as Malcolm, one of the children in that family.

Margot Robbie in Barbie.

Barbie was one of the biggest hits in recent memory, and it was also a massive bet by star Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig. Now, it seems like Robbie and Gerwig are coming back for more. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Gerwig and her partner Noah Baumbach, who co-wrote the script for the first movie, have landed on an idea for a sequel, and they've already brought it to Warner Bros.

The reporting suggests that this story is in "early stages" and that no official deal is done yet. Reps for both the studio and the filmmakers also pushed back on the report. “There is no legitimacy to this reporting,” Gerwig and Baumbach’s rep claimed. The representative for Warner Bros. was even more succinct: “THR’s reporting is inaccurate.”
