The Malcolm in the Middle limited series reboot wrapped production last month, and we are just hearing about the new name the episodes will go by – Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair, a reference to the show’s theme song, “Boss of Me,” by They Might Be Giants, which concludes with the words, “Life is unfair…”
It’s a great throwback title, and not only does it get that song stuck in our heads, but it brings back memories of the show, and gets us excited to revisit these characters.
The reboot will follow Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) and his daughter (newcomer Keeley Karsten) as they are drawn back into the boisterous family’s chaos when Hal (Bryan Cranston) and Lois (Jane Kaczmarek) demand his presence at their 40th wedding anniversary festivities.
Also reprising their roles are Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield, who portrayed Malcolm’s older brothers, Francis and Reese, respectively. Caleb Ellsworth-Clark is taking over the role of genius Malcolm’s younger brother, Dewey.
Additional newcomers include Kiana Madeira as Malcolm’s girlfriend; Anthony Timpano, cast as Malcolm’s youngest brother, Jamie, who was seen as a baby and toddler on the original series; and Vaughan Murrae as Malcolm’s youngest sibling, Kelly (who, like the character’s actor, is nonbinary), whose existence was revealed in the series finale when Lois revealed her positive pregnancy test.
Stay tuned for the announcement of the release date of the new episodes of Malcom in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair.
