Malcolm: Nothing new on Disney+ starting tomorrow—the trailer for the revival.

Malcolm: Nothing Has Changed arrives on Disney+ this Friday, April 10, 2026. On the eve of its streaming debut, the platform unveiled a new trailer for this four-episode revival, which directly picks up the story of the cult sitcom nearly twenty years after it ended. Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek reprise their roles in this Wilkerson family comeback in a short-form format.

Malcolm: Nothing Has Changed
Series | 2026
Season 1 available on Disney+ from April 10, 2026
Comedy | 4 episodes
Created by Linwood Boomer | Starring Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, Jane Kaczmarek, Christopher Kennedy Masterson, Justin Berfield, and Emy Coligado
Original title: Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair
Country: United States

This revival isn't a reboot but a direct sequel. Malcolm, now grown and a father, has kept his daughter and himself at a distance from his family for more than ten years. Hal and Lois, however, force him to return for their 40th wedding anniversary, pulling him back into a world he had been trying to escape.

The new trailer mainly reinforces the tonal continuity with the original series: the same domestic chaos, the same family power dynamics, the same upfront humor centered on Hal, Lois, and their kids’ outbursts. Disney+ is betting on bringing back the core team rather than reinventing the franchise.

The cast brings together Bryan Cranston, Frankie Muniz, Jane Kaczmarek, Christopher Kennedy Masterson, Justin Berfield and Emy Coligado, with Keeley Karsten, Vaughan Murrae, Kiana Madeira and Caleb Ellsworth-Clark joining the lineup. On the eve of the launch, the entire ensemble gathered in New York for the world premiere of the miniseries, signaling a high-profile push for this comeback.
