Malcolm in the Middle Revival Debuts as a Four‑Episode Event on Hulu and Disney+

Hours after the premiere, Frankie Muniz exited a Bristol Truck Series race following a crash.

Overview

  • All four episodes of Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair premiered Friday on Hulu and Disney+, marking the show’s first new installment in about 20 years.
  • Creator Linwood Boomer said the project was built as a closed-ended reunion with no plans for an ongoing series.
  • Muniz, driving a Malcolm-branded Ford F-150 in NASCAR’s Truck Series at Bristol Motor Speedway on Friday, crashed in a late-stage incident and was scored a Did Not Finish with no serious injuries reported.
  • Muniz told Fox Sports he was holding the “lucky dog” position, which is the first car one lap down that would return to the lead lap under caution, and said rival Tyler Reif was “yelling” at him after the wreck.
  • Most original cast members returned, Dewey was recast with Caleb Ellsworth-Clark, and the miniseries adds new characters including Malcolm’s daughter Leah, youngest sibling Kelly, and girlfriend Tristan.
