“Malcolm In The Middle” Revival Gets Premiere Date

Hulu’s four-episode revival of the hit early 2000s sitcom, titled “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair,” revealed its teaser on Monday alongside an April 10 premiere date. 

The series follows grown-up child prodigy Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) as he and his daughter (Keeley Karsten) reunite with his family after hiding from them for over a decade. 

However, Malcolm is roped back into the family’s chaos when his parents, Hal (Bryan Cranston) and Lois (Jane Kaczmarek), demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.

The original “Malcolm in the Middle” ran on Fox for seven seasons from 2000 to 2006. 

Nearly all of the show’s main cast is returning for the revival, including Muniz, Kaczmarek, Cranston, Chris Kennedy Masterson, Justin Berfield, and Emy Coligado. 

However, Erik Per Sullivan will officially not be returning as Dewey. Instead, Caleb Ellsworth-Clark (“Fargo,” “The Expanse”) will take over the role. Other new cast members include Karsten, Vaughan Murrae, and Kiana Madeira.

Linwood Boomer created the original series and returns as writer and executive producer. Cranston, Tracy Katsky of KatCo, Gail Berman and New Regency’s Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan and Natalie Lehmann are executive producers. 

Ken Kwapis directed all four episodes and executive produced. Jimmy Simons and Laura Delahaye are co-executive producers. 

The limited series hails from Disney Branded Television and is produced by 20th Television and New Regency.
