NASCAR Truck Series driver Frankie Muniz reprising iconic role in 'Malcolm in the Middle' reboot

Get ready to see a lot of Frankie Muniz coming up. He is racing in NASCAR full-time and reprising his role as Malcolm in Malcolm in the Middle. The reboot is coming to Disney+.

Next season Frankie Muniz will race the full NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series schedule. He will race with Reaume Brothers Racing. But he has another big role coming up for 2025.

After 18 years, Malcolm and the family are getting back together. Bryan Cranston is going to be back as well as Jane Jaczmarek. It will be a nostalgia bomb.

OF MY GOSH! I'm so excited to announce that after 18 years, Malcolm in the Middle is returning with new episodes on @disneyplus!
Get ready, we can't wait for everyone to see what Malcolm and his family have been up to! #MalcolmInTheMiddlehttps://t.co/RVtIB9AFZK

While Muniz has taken on a new role as a racecar driver in recent years, he is still acting. It sounds like a busy schedule. More than 20 races in the season from February to November. An acting career on top of that – Muniz is racking up those frequent flyer miles for sure in 2025.

If you are Reaume Brothers Racing, this is great news. Your driver is getting a show on Disney+. While the Malcolm in the Middle nostalgia has done a lot for Muniz and his racing career, having a new reboot could give fresh life to that fandom.

Frankie Muniz is hoping for a big year. He isn’t in the greatest equipment, but there is a lot that he can still learn in the Truck Series in 2025.

Frankie Muniz hoping to improve with Reaume Bros Racing

Last season, Reaume Brothers Racing ran a couple of part-time trucks along with a full-time ride with Lawless Alan. The part-time entry finished 32nd in owners points. Alan finished 27th overall.

To be completely honest, top-25 finishes are what this RBR team should be looking for. Muniz has struggled in his limited Truck Series starts. However, having a full season of racing is different. He can get consistency and experience behind the wheel.

In 2024, Reaume Brothers put a lot of effort into developing Alan. He raced a full-time Truck Series schedule with ARCA starts sprinkled in here and there. It remains to be seen if Alan will return to the team in 2025.

Frankie Muniz and Reaume Brothers Racing are both looking to have a 2025 of growth. No one expects Muniz to win races. But improving week to week and getting good data from the truck is a real, attainable goal.
