**Malcolm Returns Home in the Trailer for “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair”**
It’s time for Malcolm to return home. The first trailer for the upcoming “Malcolm in the Middle” revival, titled **“Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair,”** was released on December 29, showcasing Frankie Muniz reprising his role as the genius middle child from 25 years ago.
At the beginning of the trailer, Malcolm states, “My life is fantastic now. All I had to do is stay away from my family.” It seems he has done just that, as his mother Lois, portrayed by Jane Kaczmarek, reveals in the next scene that Malcolm “has been intentionally hiding himself” from the family for years. Now, with a daughter of his own, Malcolm is compelled to return home for a special family celebration.
**Returning Cast and Characters**
The revival brings back many beloved characters, including:
– **Bryan Cranston** as patriarch Hal
– **Chris Kennedy Masterson** as older brother Francis
– **Justin Berfield** as brother Reese
– **Emy Coligado** as Francis’ wife Piama
New additions to the cast include Keeley Karsten as Leah (Malcolm’s daughter), Vaughan Murrae as Kelly (Malcolm’s youngest sibling), and Kiana Madeira as Tristan (Malcolm’s girlfriend).
Notably, Erik Per Sullivan, who played Hal and Lois’ fourth son Dewey in the original series, does not return. Instead, the role of Dewey is recast with Caleb Ellsworth-Clark.
**What Is ‘Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair’ About?**
“Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair” follows Malcolm as his parents insist that he attend their 40th wedding anniversary party after over a decade of avoiding contact with their eccentric family.
This revival comes almost 20 years after the original sitcom, which ran for seven seasons from 2000 to 2006. Fans will be delighted to see most of the original cast reunite for this new chapter.
Earlier this month, a teaser was released featuring a “hairy” homage to the very first episode, in which Lois shaves Hal’s head—a nostalgic nod for longtime fans.
**Release Date and Where to Watch**
“Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair” will consist of four episodes, set to premiere on **April 10, 2026**, exclusively on **Hulu** and **Hulu on Disney+** for bundle subscribers.
While waiting for the new episodes, fans can binge-watch all 151 episodes of the original “Malcolm in the Middle” series on these streaming platforms.
