Bryan Cranston has given us the news we’ve all been waiting for - Malcolm in the Middle could be headed for the big screen.

Just imagine seeing Lois (Jane Kaczmarek) losing her mind as her grown sons wreak havoc once again but this time, its feature length.

That dream could become a reality as the Breaking Bad actor, 66, who starred as the good-natured and doting dad Hal on the iconic early-2000s sitcom, shared that discussions about reuniting the cast have been happening.

“There was some talk about the possibility of doing, like, a reunion movie of Malcolm in the Middle,” Cranston told E! News. “We had such a great family on that, and I certainly would be open to that if there was a good idea that came up - like, ‘Oh, that would be fantastic to explore what happened to this family 20 years later'. I can’t believe it’s already that, but that would be fun to do.”

Cranston’s reassurance that a Malcolm in the Middle reunion movie has been discussed comes days after the show’s 23rd anniversary.

The Fox sitcom debuted on 9 January 2000 and ran for seven seasons before wrapping up in 2006 with Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) and Reese (Justin Berfield) graduating from high school.

In October, series creator Linwood Boomer confirmed that a reunion was being discussed. “We’re talking about it. We all think it would be fun if we get the right idea. Honestly, it would be going much faster if everyone wasn’t so annoying,” he told EW.

Meanwhile, Muniz, who recently became a race car driver, has said that Cranston is working on a script for a reunion project.

In case you forgot, the Wilkerson’s welcomed another son named Jamie (James and Lukas Rodriguez) in the season four finale.

He replaced Dewey (Erik Per Sullivan) as the youngest member of the family. But in the last episode, Lois discovers she’s pregnant once again, leaving Hal screaming in shock and horror.

The cast are open to reuniting for another project.

If the cast reunite for a film, the child - who would presumably be another mischievous son knowing Hal and Lois’ track record - would be a teen.

Or Boomer could pull a Will & Grace and retcon that part of the finale should the characters return for another escapade.

The Emmy-winning series starred Muniz as Malcolm , an awkward child genius who often found himself in the most ridiculous situations with his rambunctious brothers.

The serious was considered unusual at the time for not featuring a laugh track and series star Muniz would often break the fourth wall and vent to the audience about his family and the Krelboynes - the group of academically gifted students at his school.
