“What a pleasure to be able to shout at that kid again,” jokes, in one of the four videos posted on X, Jane Kaczmarek, who plays Lois, the mother of Malcolm, Reese, Francis, Dewey and Jamie. “I’ve been waiting for this moment for 18 years!

No broadcast date for these new episodes has also yet been revealed.
French fans a little bitter…
Broadcast for the first time on the American channel Fox in 2000, the series Malcolm, which follows the daily life of a gifted young boy and his family in a middle-class American suburb, established itself as one of the most popular humorous fictions of the 2000s. In France, the episodes were broadcast on M6 from 2001, and due to their immense popularity, they are multi-rebroadcast each year on the small screen.
After the announcement of the return of the series, fans expressed their joy on social networks. But in France, many Internet users above all expressed their sadness. The actress Marion Game, who was the French voice of the character Lois, has unfortunately died. Just like the actor Jean-Louis Faure, who lent his voice to Hal in this series.
