Expect plenty of familiar faces alongside Muniz, including:
* Bryan Cranston as the eternally boyish Hal.
* Jane kaczmarek as the fiercely protective Lois.
* Chris Kennedy Masterson as the often-troubled Francis.
* Justin Berfield as the mischievous Reese.

Additionally, the revival introduces several new characters:
* Keeley Karsten as Leah, Malcolm’s daughter.
