Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, Jane Kaczmarek and Justin Berfield reunite after two decades for Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair, a four-episode revival of Linwood Boomer’s seven-season sitcom, which ran from 2000 to 2006. The 2026 limited series, also created by Boomer, drops in entirety on Friday, April 10, exclusively on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+, the latter being the most cost-effective streaming option (more on that below).
