Premiering April 10, 2026 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ is the four-part miniseries Malcolm In The Middle: Life's Still Unfair, which reunites Bryan Cranston (Hal), Frankie Muniz (Malcolm), Jane Kaczmarek (Lois), Chris Kennedy Masterson (Francis), Justin Berfield (Reese) and Emy Coligado (Piama).

After shielding himself and his daughter from his family for over a decade, Malcolm is dragged back into their orbit when Hal and Lois demand his presence at their 40th anniversary party.

New cast members include Keeley Karsten (Leah, Malcolm’s daughter), Vaughan Murrae (Kelly, Malcolm’s youngest sibling), Kiana Madeira (Tristan, Malcolm’s girlfriend) and Caleb Ellsworth-Clark (as Dewey).

Linwood Boomer created the original series and returns as writer and executive producer.

In playing Tristan, Madeira gets to join a cast that has known each other for over two decades, and they embraced her as the newest member to their ‘family.’

Madeira, who’s best known for her role as Deena in the Netflix horror film trilogy Fear Street, recently executive produced and starred in the indie MMA film ‘Baby Love.’ Currently on the festival circuit, the film marks the feature debut of writer-director Joseph Marconi.
