Fans of chaotic family comedy can rejoice, as one of the most beloved sitcoms of the 2000s is officially making a comeback. A sequel series to 'Malcolm in the Middle' has been confirmed, bringing the dysfunctional Wilkerson family back to screens nearly two decades after the original show concluded.
What We Know About The New Series
The revival, titled 'Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair', will consist of four episodes that premiere on April 10. The story catches up with the former child genius, Malcolm, who has spent the last ten years deliberately distancing himself from his famously turbulent family. Now an adult, he has built a new, peaceful life with his own wife and daughter.
However, this hard-won tranquillity is thrown into jeopardy by his parents' impending 40th wedding anniversary party, forcing Malcolm to confront the chaos he left behind. The first official trailer for the series has already been released, giving audiences a glimpse of the familiar humour and familial strife.
Who Is Returning For The Reboot?
The sequel will see several key original cast members reprise their iconic roles. Most notably, Bryan Cranston will return as the eccentric and easily excitable father, Hal. Jane Kaczmarek is back as the formidable matriarch, Lois. Frankie Muniz also returns in the title role of Malcolm, the part that launched his career.
Not every family member will be present, however. Erik Per Sullivan, who played the youngest brother Dewey, will not appear in the new series. This is because Sullivan has since stepped away from the acting profession entirely.
Where To Watch In The UK
For viewers in the United Kingdom, all four episodes of 'Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair' will be available to stream exclusively on Disney+ from the April 10 release date. The original series, which aired from 2000 to 2006, is also available on the platform, allowing fans to revisit the classic episodes before diving into the new chapter.
The return of this hit comedy promises to deliver a fresh dose of the show's signature blend of sharp wit and relatable family dysfunction, proving that for Malcolm Wilkerson, life is indeed still unfair.
