Malcolm In The Middle returns after almost 20 years with new revival series, Malcolm In The Middle: Life’s Still Unfair.
The series picks up two decades later after events of the original show, which ran for seven seasons from January 2000 to May 2006. Original creator Linwood Boomer helms the four-episode revival, with Bryan Cranston serving as an executive producer.
Frankie Muniz, Jane Kaczmarek, Justin Berfield, Christopher Masterson and Emy Coligado all reprise their roles alongside Cranston. Newcomers to the cast include Keeley Karsten as Malcolm’s daughter Leah, Vaughan Murrae as Malcolm’s youngest sibling Kelly, and Caleb Ellsworth-Clark, who takes over the role of Dewey from Erik Per Sullivan.
Malcolm In The Middle: Life’s Still Unfair is available to stream on Disney+.
Is the theme song different in Malcolm In The Middle: Life’s Still Unfair?
In the revival series, the show’s classic theme song, ‘Boss Of Me’ by They Might Be Giants, is performed by Drama Dolls.
Unlike the original show, the new version of the song isn’t played in full at the start of each episode either, but is instead played during the end credits of several episodes.
