No one is the boss of Frankie Muniz now.
The racecar driver and star of *Malcolm in the Middle *shared a heartwarming family reunion photo on Thursday — minus the recast Dewey — ratcheting up excitement for the forthcoming revival series even further.
"I was told not to post this yet, but then I remembered the theme song. I'm just too excited for y'all to see the new episodes and I miss my brothers," Muniz wrote over a posed shot with his older brothers from the beloved coming-of-age comedy, Justin Berfield and Christopher Masterson, from the last day of filming on the revival's Vancouver set.

The *Malcolm in the Middle *theme song, composed and performed by They Might Be Giants, crescendoes with the rebellious chorus chant of, "You're not the boss of me now / You're not the boss of me now."

Production on the revival wrapped in May, though a premiere date for the revival has yet to be announced.
In September, Muniz teased that "people will be surprised, in a sense, where everybody is and the story. But it's only four episodes." The Emmy nominee acknowledged that "it's hard to fit in 20 years of stuff in four 30-minute episodes," but promised that fans "are going to be very happy with what they came up with."
