“As the Smart family move from one state to the next, they cope with loss and struggle with identity, all while performing in regional theatre.”
The screenplay is being penned by Steven Rogers (Love the Coopers, I Tonya), with the supporting cast including Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (The Haunting of Bly Manor, Pinocchio) and Jack Champion (Avatar: The Way of Water, Scream VI).
Cranston, famed for playing antihero Walter White in the critically acclaimed Breaking Bad, has recently talked about revisiting another of his television roles, that of Hal in sitcom Malcolm in the Middle, which has been subject to rumours of a revival.

“It’s a possibility,” he said. “[Creator Linwood Boomer] said he would think about it, and he got his writers together. If they can come up with a great idea, a legitimate idea, then he’ll pursue it.
“If not, then nah. I don’t need a job. I’ve got plenty of jobs. I don’t need it, but I’d want it if it was a great idea,” he continued, before reminiscing about his time on the show. “It was seven years of glory. Going to work every day and making yourself and others laugh. That was my job.”
