Perspective

During a press interview with WarnerMedia in September 2021, a seventh season and film adaptation of The Amazing World of Gumball was announced to have been greenlit. The film adaptation was originally intended to be a conclusion of the original program and "a new beginning in establishing the world for the accompanying series".[5] In December 2022, the season was confirmed to be in production by Emma Fernando, director of series production for Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe.[6] At the 2023 Annecy International Animation Film Festival, the seventh season of The Amazing World of Gumball was announced to be in production, with no release date confirmed.[7][8] An EIDR listing would reveal that the seventh season would have 40 episodes.[9] At the following year's festival, details on the seventh season were revealed, including the announcement that it was now under full production, and a preview of the episode "The Burger",[10] which is the season premiere, was showcased.[11]

In May 2025, it was announced that it would officially be retitled The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball, with the season releasing in 2025 on Hulu in the United States and Cartoon Network and HBO Max internationally. All three Watterson children were recast: Gumball and Darwin are voiced by Alkaio Thiele and Hero Hunter, respectively, and Kinza Syed Khan voices Anais, marking the first time that Kyla Rae Kowalewski did not voice the character. Meanwhile, Teresa Gallagher and Dan Russell returned to voice Nicole and Richard Watterson, respectively. A teaser trailer was released to accompany the announcement.[12][13][14]

German-based Studio Soi and French-based Bobbypills provide animation and storyboard services respectively, the former having worked on the original series. Executive producers Matt Layzell and Erik Fountain had previously worked on the Netflix interactive series Battle Kitty, serving as series creator and supervising director, respectively.

The show has been branded as a revival series, though during production it was referred to as the seventh season of The Amazing World of Gumball.[15][16][17]

The day after the series premiered on Hulu, Ben Bocquelet announced that the season finale would be entitled "The Rewrite".[18] This episode will resolve the cliffhanger ending of the season 6 finale episode "The Inquisition"; the idea for the episode was originally pitched as a feature-length movie that would be produced after the original series' conclusion.[19]
