‘Malcolm in the Middle’ Revival Trailer: Frankie Muniz and Bryan Cranston Reunite After Nearly 20 Years; April Release Date Set

Malcolm is officially back in the middle.

Hulu and Disney+’s revival of the hit early 2000s sitcom, titled “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair,” revealed its first trailer on Monday alongside an April 10 premiere date. The new four-part event 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.

“My life is fantastic now,” Muniz says in the trailer. “All I had to do was stay away from my family!” However, Malcolm is roped back into the family dynamic when his parents, Hal (Bryan Cranston) and Lois (Jane Kaczmarek), demand that he attend their 40th wedding anniversary party. Naturally, chaos ensues.

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. As previously announced, Caleb Ellsworth-Clark is taking over the role of Dewey. 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 series hails from Disney Branded Television and is produced by 20th Television.
