The series Malcolm in the Middle is making headlines again. While a four-episode sequel has been announced by Disney+, actor Erik Per Sullivan, who played young Dewey, has been photographed for the first time in 18 years. And he's changed a lot. !
Malcolm: Erik Per Sullivan's Life After the Series
The series Malcolm is one of the greatest sitcoms in history. By telling the chaotic adventures of a working-class American family through the eyes of a boy genius, screenwriter Linwood Boomer established himself as one of the faces of American comedy. Absolutely brilliant, the series still has a huge fan following around the world today. In December 2024, after several years of teasing, actors Frankie Muniz (Malcolm), Bryan Cranston (Hal) and Jane Kaczmarek (Lois) announced in a video the return of the series for a four-episode sequel. It will follow Malcolm, accompanied of his partner and daughter, who will be attending his parents' fortieth wedding anniversary.
In March 2025, we learned that Justin Berfield and Christopher Kennedy Masterson will also be reprising their roles as Reese and Francis, respectively. Jamie and Kelly, whose upcoming birth was announced in the last episode of season 7, will also be there, played by Anthony Timpano and Vaughan Murrae. While many fans feared that Dewey would be conspicuous by his absence, actor Caleb Ellsworth-Clark has been officially hired to take over the role. Indeed, Erik Per Sullivan retired from the artistic life in 2010, following the filming of Joel Schumacher's film Twelve. To the point of being systematically absent from casting meetings! But the now 33-year-old actor was recently photographed by a paparazzi for the first time since 2007, while buying a coffee in Boston.
