It’s been two decades since Malcolm in the Middle ended its seven-season run on Fox, and if you often ponder how adult life has treated the titular genius middle child and his crazy family, you’re in luck. Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair, set to hit the 2026 TV schedule on April 10, sees Frankie Muniz’s Malcolm being pulled back into his family’s orbit after intentionally distancing himself. Critics have seen the four-part revival, and they say the only thing that’s unfair is there isn’t more of it.
Almost all of the original cast members are reprising their roles for the Malcolm in the Middle revival, including Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek. Unfortunately, Erik Per Sullivan has retired from acting and will not return as Dewey, but I’m interested to see how Caleb Ellsworth-Clark steps into that role. We’ll also get to meet Malcolm’s daughter Leah (played by Keeley Karsten … do I smell a spinoff?) and girlfriend Tristan (Kiana Madeira). Enough already! Let’s get to the reviews!
