LOS ANGELES, April 9 (UPI) -- Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair, premiering Friday on Hulu, is one of the more apt revivals of the nostalgia boom. It may not be that much more chaotic than the original Fox sitcom, but with the young cast now adults it feels much more so.
Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) is a single father to Leah (Keeley Karsten) and works in politics. He feels like he's well-adjusted as long as he avoids his family.
His parents, Hal (Bryan Cranston) and Lois (Jane Kaczmarek), are still as in love as ever and planning a 40th anniversary party. Their oldest, Francis (Christopher Masterson), is married now.
Reese (Justin Berfield) is still around working on home renovation projects with Hal. Dewey (Caleb Ellsworth-Clark) is a rock star now so often appears on Zoom while on tour, but shows up for some scenes.
Jamie (Anthony Timpano) returns later in the series. Kelly (Vaughan Murrae), the infant born in the series finale, is nonbinary and the only non-male presenting child of the family.
