‘Malcolm In The Middle’: Hulu Reboot Teaser Video Features Iconic Back-Shaving Moment

Hulu has unveiled the first teaser for the upcoming Malcolm in the Middle reboot, giving fans a nostalgic nod to the original show. The clip features Malcolm experiencing a back-shaving moment reminiscent of the scene where Hal, played by Bryan Cranston, was shaved by Lois, portrayed by Jane Kaczmarek, in the premiere of the Fox series.

The revival, titled Malcolm in the Middle: Lifes Still Unfair, is a limited four-episode series starring Frankie Muniz. Scheduled to premiere in 2026, it will be available on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ in the United States, and on Disney+ internationally. The storyline brings Malcolm back into the orbit of his parents, Hal and Lois, who insist on his attendance at their 40th-anniversary celebration, despite his attempts to protect himself and his daughter from family chaos.

The series reunites original cast members Bryan Cranston (Hal), Frankie Muniz (Malcolm), Jane Kaczmarek (Lois), Christopher Kennedy Masterson (Francis), Justin Berfield (Reese), and Emy Coligado (Piama). New additions include Keeley Karsten as Leah, Malcolms daughter, Vaughan Murrae as Kelly, Malcolms youngest sibling, Kiana Madeira as Tristan, Malcolms girlfriend, and Caleb Ellsworth-Clark as Dewey.

Produced by Disney Branded Television in partnership with 20th Television and New Regency, the revival sees Linwood Boomer, creator of the original series, returning as writer and executive producer. Bryan Cranston, Tracy Katsky, Gail Berman, Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan, and Natalie Lehmann serve as executive producers, while Ken Kwapis directs all four episodes and executive produces. Jimmy Simons and Laura Delahaye are co-executive producers.

The teaser for Malcolm in the Middle: Lifes Still Unfair provides fans with a first glimpse of the beloved family dynamic that defined the original series.
