There hasn't been a new season of The Amazing World of Gumball for quite some time, but that's all set to change soon. Season 6 concluded in June 20219, and season 7 (along with a new movie) was announced in June 2023.
However, season 7 will be airing on a new home.
In a surprise move, Hulu announced today that the streaming service will be the exclusive North American home for the fan favorite cartoon. In International territories, the show will still air on Cartoon Network.
Moreover, it seems the show has been retitled The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball.
In addition to the new season, Hulu will also be the home for all previous episodes.
A release date has yet to be announced, but you can check out a teaser for the new content below.
Additionally, it's been confirmed that Alkaio Thiele and Hero Hunter will be the new voices for Gumball and Darwin Watterson in the new series.
This will be the fifth pair of Gumball and Darwin voice actors for the show, as previous duos have aged out since the show's introduction in 2011. The show has handled these transitions very smoothly in the past, so fans shouldn't expect the change to be too jarring.
While Gumball and Darwin are changing voice actors, Teresa Gallagher and Dan Russell will return to voice Nicole and Richard Watterson
Previously, it was confirmed that the new season would consist of 40 episodes and that it would be released before the end of 2025.
Series creator Ben Bocquelet previously announced his departure from the show at the end of the sixth season, and while he's listed as an executive producer on season 7, it's unknown at this time just how involved he will be.
Via press release, Bocquelet, and fellow executive producers Matt Layzell and Erik Fountain said, "What an amazing opportunity to play with these characters again! Fans can look forward to plenty more antics and misadventures in Elmore because Gumball and Darwin haven’t grown up much since we last saw them…we haven’t either."
Vanessa Brookman, Warner Bros Discovery, GM, International Kids, Animation and Franchise added, "We thought it was about time that Gumball and the rest of the gang woke up from their catnap, to do what they do best, and delight more fans with distinctive humour, visual inventiveness and wild adventures. Guided by the immense talents of Ben, Matt, Erik and team, the new series continues Gumball’s legacy as one of the most iconic, groundbreaking and beloved Cartoon Network shows of all time."
