The Disney+ revival of “Malcolm in the Middle” will see the returns of Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield, according to multiple media reports. The two stars will reprise their roles as Francis and Reese, respectively. However, the role of Dewey will now be played by Caleb Ellsworth-Clark.
The role of Dewey was originally played by Erik Per Sullivan, who has since stepped away from the industry. Ellsworth-Clark previously appeared in “Fargo,” “Wynonna Earp” and “The Expanse.”
In addition to Masterson, Berfield and Ellsworth-Clark, the revival will star Anthony Timpano (“Riverdale”), who will play Malcolm’s youngest brother Jamie, and Vaughan Murrae (“Before I Change My Mind”), who will play Malcolm’s youngest sibling Kelly, a new character who is the sixth child of this family. She is described as someone who is “self-sufficient, gets good grades and already wiser than most of the family.” “The Fabelmans” actor Keeley Karsten will play Malcolm’s daughter,...

More familiar faces are confirmed to be returning for the Malcolm in the Middle revival on Disney+. However, one popular character from the original show has been recast with a new actor taking on the role.
Per Variety, the role of Dewey has been recast for the new Malcolm in the Middle revival series. In the original show, the fan favorite character, who started out as the youngest sibling, was played by child actor Erik Per Sullivan. After the series ended, Sullivan quietly retired from acting and has since been enjoying his life out of the spotlight. This made it doubtful that he would be returning for the Malcolm in the Middle revival, though it was still unclear if the character would be recast or if there'd be a storyline reason given to explain his absence.

Disney Branded Television has rounded out The Wilkersons for the upcoming limited, four-episode revival of Malcolm In the Middle on Disney+, which will reveal the sex and name of the quirky family’s sixth child.
Original cast members Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield are set to reprise their roles as Malcolm’s older brothers Francis and Reese, respectively, joining Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek who are back as Malcolm and the Wilkerson parents Hal and Lois, respectively.
Caleb Ellsworth-Clark is taking over the role of genius Malcolm’s (Muniz) younger brother, Dewey. The recasting is not surprising. Erik Per Sullivan, who played the role on the original series, was not expected to return as he quit acting in 2010 and has not participated in any of the Malcolm In the Middle reunions.

The nominations have been revealed for the 2025 GLAAD Media Awards, and one critically acclaimed LGBTQ+ film is notably absent from the pack of nominees.
The annual awards ceremony will return for a 36th year in 2025. According to GLAAD, it’s goal is to “recognize and honor fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of the LGBTQ community in an ever-expanding and media landscape.”
On Wednesday (January 22), the organization revealed the crop of nominees that would be honored at the ceremony. While projects such as Wicked and Queer were notably featured, Netflix’s Emilia Perez was left off the list.
The snub comes after GLAAD declared that the movie, which stars Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez and trans actress Karla Sofia Gascon, was “not good trans representation” in a November 2024 essay. The story included reviews from transgender film critics and noted that “inauthentic portrayals of trans people are offensive and even dangerous.”

Other nominated projects included “Cuckoo,” “Drive-Away Dolls,” “Love Lies Bleeding” and “Problemista.”

Vaughan Murrae and Dominic Lippa in Before I Change My Mind
One of the most enjoyable films in the 2023 Inside Out line-up, Trevor Anderson’s charming coming of age fable Before I Change My Mind opens with a mishap in a sex education lesson involving a banana and takes its young protagonist on a literal roller coaster ride as they attempt to climb the social hierarchy and win the affection of a boy who may or may not be worth it, until bigger events take life in unexpected directions. It’s Trevor’s first feature after a lengthy career in shorts, and that’s what we initially got talking about when we met up just before the festival to discuss the film.
“I made about a dozen shorts over the course of 15 years, and I just felt like trying something new,” he says. “If you don't take a risk, you can get quite comfortable.

There are two kinds of films about high schoolers: those which present them as the glamorous, effortlessly cool young adults they’d like to be, and those which tell the truth. Often the latter kind are made primarily with older audiences in mind, and trade heavily on nostalgia. Despite being set in the Eighties, however, Trevor Anderson’s smartly observed coming-of-age fable is one of those rare ones which will please teenage and older audiences alike. it feels fresh and up to date and the messiness of its characters’ lives provides plenty of material for viewers to connect with.
Screened as part of Inside Out, Before I Change My Mind follows Robin (Vaughan Murrae), whose arrival at a new school could not be more unfortunately timed. Walking into the middle of a sex education level just as the banana being used in a demonstration breaks, Robin is immediately met by scowls and.
