Overview
- The four-episode revival from original creator Linwood Boomer and director Ken Kwapis debuted Friday, April 10 on Hulu and Disney+.
- Set nearly 20 years later, the story follows an adult Malcolm who is pulled back to his parents’ 40th anniversary after keeping his daughter at a distance from the family.
- Most core cast members return, including Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, Jane Kaczmarek, Christopher Masterson, Justin Berfield, and Emy Coligado, with Dewey recast to Caleb Ellsworth-Clark and Jamie to Anthony Timpano.
- New characters reshape the ensemble with Keeley Karsten as Malcolm’s daughter Leah, Kiana Madeira as his girlfriend Tristan, and Vaughan Murrae as Kelly, the family’s nonbinary youngest sibling.
- Early reviews describe a funny, largely faithful tone with some uneven moments, and some suggest the event could set up future stories, though no follow-up has been announced.
