Per Deadline, Disney+’s Malcolm In The Middle revival has recast the role of Dewey due to Sullivan’s retirement from acting. Sullivan retired in 2010 and wasn’t expected to make a triumphant return for the reunion series.

Christopher Masterson, who played Malcolm's oldest brother Francis, and Justin Berfield, who played Reese, will also both return for the reboot, according to Variety, while Kiana Madeira will join the show afresh as the eponymous star's girlfriend.
