Reports indicate Shemar Moore is back as Malcolm Winters for a multi-episode arc airing starting April 2026, with Vivica A. Fox co-starring as Dr. Stephanie Simmons. This marks Moore’s return to Genoa City more than two decades after his original run on the show. [source coverage from Good Housekeeping, People, and Entertainment outlets cite the February 2026 announcements and April 2026 air dates]

Behind-the-scenes teasers show Moore declaring “Back to where it all started” and fans reacting with excitement on social media, further confirming a high-profile reappearance for a storyline with “shocking consequences.”

Additional context notes Moore’s long history with Y&R, including prior returns and statements about coming home to the soap, which aligns with this recent multi-episode arc rather than a long-term contract.
