The best series of your adolescence returns this week to TV with a highly anticipated remake

Malcolm in the Middle will return to TV with a remake titled ‘Malcolm: From Bad to Worse’, which will consist of four episodes and will be available on Disney+.

This anticipated return will feature most of the original cast, although Erik Per Sullivan, who played Dewey, will not participate for the time being.

The original cast returns for Malcolm: From bad to worse, except Dewey

The series, which aired from 2000 to 2006, earned a special place in television comedy for its honest portrayal of a chaotic and imperfect middle-class American family, similar to the acclaimed ‘The Simpsons’.

The story follows Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) after keeping his family in check for over a decade, being forced to return when his mother Lois (Jane Kaczmarek) and his father Hal (Bryan Cranston) celebrate their 40th birthday.

The series stood out in its time for renouncing canned laughter and for breaking the fourth wall, strategies that made it feel fresh and relevant. Despite the years, the humor and family dynamics that characterize “Malcolm in the Middle” continue to resonate, as reflected in its current rating of 8.2/10 on IMDb.

This event could be considered a perfect opportunity for both new and old fans to rediscover the series, which showcases family life situations with a mix of chaos and tenderness.

The trailer for this miniseries has left many with mixed feelings, as if it were trying to reclaim something familiar from a different angle. However, the essence of the series, which blends laughter with life lessons about family resilience, seems intact.

With his return to the screen, Malcolm promises to bring back both the moments of absurd humor and the valuable lessons about life in a chaotic family context.
