A new trailer for Hulu's Malcolm in the Middle revival proves life is still unfair – and I can't wait to reunite with my favorite dysfunctional sitcom family

A new trailer for Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair has arrived – and it's more absurd than I could've ever even imagined.

In the brief clip, which can be viewed below, Malcolm's doing just fine some 20 years after the show's end, living a happy and nondysfunctional life with his daughter Lea (Keeley Karsten) and girlfriend Tristan (Kiana Madeira). The reason his life is so good, he says, is because he completely cut his parents and brothers out of his life some time ago... and doesn't want Lea or Tristan to know anything about them. This all comes to a head when Hal and Lois demand that Malcom shows up for their 40th wedding anniversary party, which, by the looks of the trailer, he reluctantly agrees to.

It also looks like Lea has been curious to get to know her dad's family, however, judging by a quick scene in the trailer where she's hiding under a table while on FaceTime with Hal (Bryan Cranston), Lois (Jane Kaczmarek), Dewey (this time played by Caleb Ellsworth-Clark), Reese (Justin Berfield), Francis (Christopher Masterson), his wife Piama (Emy Coligado), Jamie (Anthony Timpano), and youngest sibling Kelly (Vaughan Murrae).

It's worth noting that the four-part revival series is also bringing back Craig Lamar Traylor as Malcolm's childhood best friend Stevie Kenarban, Gary Anthony Williams as Stevie's dad Abe, and David Anthony Higgins as Craig, Lois's old coworker at the Lucky Aide.
