The first teaser for Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair was certainly hairy. Not only did the teaser for the revival mimic an iconic scene from the original series, but it was also released on Frankie Muniz's 40th birthday.
On Friday, Dec. 5, Hulu released a short teaser of an electric razor buzzing to life before tackling someone's hairy back. As cut whispers of back hair float through the air, they land on the floor to spell out the revival's name, alongside its premiere in 2026.

— Hulu (@hulu) December 5, 2025Die-hard fans of the original series would remember what the teaser is paying homage to. The original pilot episode, which aired in 2000, set the tone of the sitcom as Bryan Cranston's character, Hal, is getting his back hair buzzed off in the kitchen while naked.
Fans watched as Jane Kaczmarek, as Lois, sang along to a popular tune as she yelled for her boys to get downstairs. All three boys watched, getting an eyeful as they ate breakfast.
The four-episode revival was announced to have been greenlit last December, with Cranston, Muniz, Kaczmarek, Justin Berfield, and Christopher Masterson reuniting. Erik Per Sullivan, who played the youngest, Dewey, was absent from the cast list.
His role was recast and will star Caleb Ellsworth-Clark, with Anthony Timpano starring as the fifth and youngest son, Jamie.
Per the synopsis, Malcom is "dragged back into [his family's orbit href=" parade.com/1045384/marynliles/family-quotes/"] when Hal and Lois demand his presence at their 40th anniversary party," after he's shielded himself and his daughter "from his family for over a decade."
The revival, releasing on Muniz's birthday, is a welcome tribute, as he will make his return to acting since stepping away to become a professional NASCAR racer.
Muniz commented on the Lightweights Podcast with Joe Vulpisin September that he had "the best time of my entire life, I'm not exaggerating, filming this reboot."
"I loved it so much, way more than I ever thought I could have," he admitted.
