MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE Revival = Top 2026 Disney+ Debut: Filmed in Vancouver

The Malcolm in the Middle revival Life’s Still Unfair, starring Frankie Muniz as middle-aged Malcolm, is the #1 season premiere on Disney+ and Hulu of 2026 so far, with 8.1 million views globally in its first three days.

Reuniting with the cast, getting to know some new characters, laughing till it hurt, and making new memories on set felt like a dream I didn’t want to wake up from. It went by so fast, like a blur of perfect moments. I wish it could go on forever.

I’m so happy to have gotten the chance to relive being on this show with a greater appreciation of what we were making knowing how many people around the world truly love Malcolm and his family.

Another big thing I am taking away from this experience is how much I truly love being an actor. I never officially felt like that label fit me, but now I wear that label proudly and hope to do so much more of it in the future. I am so sad to have to say goodbye to my MITM crew, I love each and everyone of you.

And PS: Life’s Still Unfair I had so many incredible pictures of all the cast I wanted to post but Disney won’t let me.... So imagine a picture of all of us together, having the time of our lives! — Frankie Munitz.
