Malcolm In The Middle Reboot Teases First Christmas Episode In 22 Years

A new image from ScreenRant offers a first glimpse at the upcoming reboot, Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair, bringing a festive and nostalgic feeling to fans.

This photo is from our 2026 Spring TV Preview and shows the cast of Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair. Frankie Muniz (Malcolm), Justin Berfield (Reese), Christopher Masterson (Francis), Emy Coligado (Piama), and Caleb Ellsworth-Clark (Dewey) are pictured relaxing on a couch in front of a Christmas tree, suggesting the series will have its first-ever holiday episode after 22 years.

Fans of the original Malcolm in the Middle will instantly be reminded of the show’s beloved Christmas episodes, which were a tradition for seven seasons. Viewers were disappointed when the final season broke with that tradition, making the holiday special from season six the last one ever aired. That’s why this sneak peek is generating so much excitement.

Details about the upcoming special are still secret, but a recent photo suggests it will continue the story from the original series. This gives longtime fans reason to believe the reboot won’t just feature familiar faces, but will also recapture the elements that made the franchise so popular.

As a huge fan of the original Malcolm in the Middle, I was thrilled to hear about the Hulu miniseries, Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair. It’s set years after the show ended, and Malcolm’s really built a life where he keeps his family separate from his own daughter, Leah, and his girlfriend, Tristan. But things get predictably messy when his parents, Hal and Lois, ask him to come to their 40th wedding anniversary – and a chaotic family reunion is unavoidable!

The TV show Malcolm in the Middle aired on Fox from 2000 to 2007. It was created by Linwood Boomer and featured a cast including Frankie Muniz, Justin Kaczmarek, Bryan Cranston, Christopher Masterson, and Erik Per Sullivan. In a new version of the show, Ellsworth-Clark will take over the role of Dewey, who was originally played by Per Sullivan.

All four episodes of the new season, Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair, will premiere simultaneously on Hulu on April 10, 2026.
