The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair is an American television sitcom miniseries created by Linwood Boomer for Hulu. It is a revival of Malcolm in the Middle (2000–2006), produced by New Satin City Productions, The Jackal Group, Regency Television, and 20th Television. In December 2024, it was announced that a revival was in the works for Disney+ with Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek reprising their roles. The series follows Malcolm and his daughter as he visits his parents for their 40th wedding anniversary. Initially, the project had been pitched as a two-hour movie before being split into four 30-minute episodes for the streaming service. The series was filmed between April and May 2025, with Ken Kwapis returning from the original series to direct every episode. Christopher Masterson, Emy Coligado, and Justin Berfield also return from the original series. Vaughan Murrae, Keeley Karsten, and Kiana Madeira all appear in starring roles. Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair was released in its entirety on April 10, 2026. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
