Hulu released the official trailer for the Malcolm in the Middle revival on Tuesday. The preview shows the beloved family back together for more chaos and comedy. The trailer promises a fresh story that still feels like the original show.
Frankie Muniz steps back into the role of Malcolm. Jane Kaczmarek returns as his mother Lois, and Bryan Cranston is back as the goofy dad Hal. Chris Masterson reprises his part as older brother Francis, while Justin Berfield is again Reese. Emy Coligado appears as Francis’ wife Piama. All of these actors bring the same energy that fans loved in the early 2000s.
New Characters
Caleb Ellsworth Clark takes over the role of Dewey, the younger brother who was originally played by Erik Per Sullivan. New faces join the mix: Keeley Karsten plays Malcolm’s daughter Leah, Kiana Madeira is his girlfriend Tristan, and Vaughan Murrae appears as Kelly, the youngest child that Lois reveals in the series finale.
Release Info
The revival was first announced in December 2024. The original Malcolm in the Middle aired on Fox from 2000 to 2006, earning 33 Emmy nominations and winning seven. Today, the full original series streams on Hulu and on Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers.
Fans can watch the new trailer now and get a glimpse of how Malcolm’s life has changed while the family’s humor stays the same. The trailer hints at a reunion party for Hal and Lois’ 40th anniversary, a setting that pulls Malcolm back into the family orbit after years of distance.
With a mix of familiar faces and fresh talent, the Malcolm in the Middle revival aims to satisfy longtime fans and attract new viewers. The series promises the same fast‑paced jokes, quirky family moments, and heartfelt storytelling that made the original a cult classic.
