The Amazing World of Gumball is officially returning with a brand-new season, seven years after its original run ended in 2019. While two special episodes aired in 2021, this is the first full season since then. And yes, it looks just as wild (and wonderfully weird) as ever.
On May 19, Cartoon Network International dropped a teaser for the new season, now titled The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball, and it is enough to send the fans of the BAFTA Children¡¯s, International Emmy, and Annie multi-award-winning series into a nostalgic trip. The teaser opens in Gumball¡¯s familiar old neighborhood, but it looks abandoned, muddy, and drained of color. A strange alarm blares as Gumball, dressed in rags, wakes up and stumbles out.
He finds Darwin, who tells him, ¡°We¡¯re seven years late for school," a fun nod to how long the show¡¯s been gone. As they get moving, the color slowly returns to the world, and the usual chaos begins, proving nothing¡¯s really changed, and if anything, things might¡¯ve gotten wonderfully weirder.
While there¡¯s no exact date yet, Warner Bros. Discovery executive Sean Henry recently confirmed that the new episodes will premiere later this year. The teaser shared by Cartoon Network's official channel also confirms it's coming in 2025.
You¡¯ll be able to stream the new season on Hulu and Disney+ in the U.S., while international viewers can catch it on Cartoon Network International and HBO Max (outside the U.S.).
Season 7 will pick up where things left off, with Gumball¡¯s nemesis Rob returning and more of the mysterious ¡°Void¡± being explored. The first episode, titled The Burger, will follow Gumball and Darwin as they attempt to eat healthy, which¡ªpredictably¡ªwon¡¯t go as planned.
A movie was announced alongside the new season but was rumored to be cancelled. However, series creator Ben Bocquelet recently confirmed it¡¯s still happening. He shared that the original story is being reworked and that he¡¯s actively developing a new version of the film. No release window has been shared yet, but the good news is it hasn¡¯t been scrapped.
