Overview
- In April 2026, Disney+ premiered the 25th‑anniversary Malcolm in the Middle revival with Caleb Ellsworth‑Clark replacing Erik Per Sullivan as Dewey, the only principal cast change.
- On the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast, Justin Berfield said producers asked Sullivan to return four or five times and he declined each offer.
- Berfield said he has seen new paparazzi photos of Sullivan and urged fans and media to leave him alone.
- Jane Kaczmarek told the Guardian that producers offered Sullivan a large paycheck but he turned it down because he is studying Dickens and is an excellent student.
- Bryan Cranston has said Sullivan is at Harvard, which tracks with his step back from acting since his last screen credit in 2010.
