"Like everything else that was once popular, the early 2000s Fox TV comedy Malcolm in the Middle is returning in Spring 2026 with stars Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, and Jane Kaczmarek all back to reprise their roles as Malcom, Hal, and Lois, respectively. On December 29, Disney and Hulu released the first trailer for Life's Still Unfair, an upcoming 4-episode Malcom in the Middle miniseries event set around 20 years after the original show, which ran from 2000 to 2006 on Fox."
"As a young pre-teen in the early 2000s, I watched a lot of Malcolm in the Middle during the show's original run on TV. But like a lot of people, according to ratings data, I remember my family vaguely checking out around season four. Two years later, the show was canceled due to low ratings. Of course, nostalgia for content from this era is reaching its highest point as people who grew up in that era are now entering their 30s."
Malcolm in the Middle returns as a four-episode miniseries titled Life's Still Unfair, set about 20 years after the original 2000–2006 run. Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, and Jane Kaczmarek reprise their roles as Malcolm, Hal, and Lois. Disney and Hulu released the first trailer on December 29. The official synopsis states Malcolm, who shielded himself and his daughter from his family for over a decade, is pulled back into their orbit for his parents' 40th anniversary. The revival taps into early-2000s nostalgia and will premiere on Hulu and Disney+ on April 10, 2026.
