The revival, titled Malcom in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair, follows an adult Malcolm as he’s “dragged back” into his family’s orbit for his parents’ 40th wedding anniversary party, despite making all efforts to shield himself and his daughter from them for more than a decade.
“My life is fantastic now,” Malcolm says in the trailer before clips play of the chaos that follows. “All I had to do was stay away from my family!”
The Malcolm in the Middle revival sees the return of Bryan Cranston as Hal, Jane Kaczmarek as Lois, Chris Kennedy Masterson as Francis, Justin Berfield as Reese and Emy Coligado as Piama.
Joining the cast anew are Keeley Karsten as Malcolm’s daughter, Leah; Vaughan Murrae as Malcolm’s youngest sibling, Kelly; and Kiana Madeira as Malcolm’s girlfriend, Tristan. Caleb Ellsworth-Clark is another newcomer to the Malcolm in the Middle franchise, filling in for original actor Erik Per Sullivan as adult Dewey.
