The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball 2025 marks the triumphant return of the Watterson family and Elmore’s zany residents, seven years after the original series ended. This revival series continues where *The Amazing World of Gumball* left off—with more surreal humor, meta satire, and unexpected thrills.
A Revival With Style: Not a Reboot, Just More Gumball
Show creator Ben Bocquelet and executive producers Matt Layzell and Erik Fountain confirm the new series is not a reboot but a seamless continuation. Gumball and Darwin literally wake up “seven years late for school,” as teased in the official trailer. Familiar Elmore chaos returns, enhanced with fresh energy and bigger surprises.
Release Window & Platforms in 2025
The show premieres on **July 28, 2025** in the U.S. exclusively on **Hulu** and **Hulu + Disney+**. International viewers can watch starting **October 6, 2025** on Cartoon Network and HBO Max.
Early promotional materials including trailers and teaser art generated major fan buzz during Comic‑Con and animation festivals.
️ New Voices, Classic Characters
The entire Watterson family returns through new voice talent — Alkaio Thiele as Gumball, Hero Hunter as Darwin, and Kinza Syed Khan as Anaïs — while Teresa Gallagher and Dan Russell continue as Nicole and Richard. Though the cast is recast for younger characters, the heart and spirit of the show remain true.
Animation & Creative Approach in 2025
Produced by **Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe** in partnership with Studio Soi, the series fuses 2D/3D animation, puppetry, and live-action segments. The episodes—around 12 minutes each—feature surreal, unpredictable plots true to the show’s legacy, but with sharper satire aimed at both kids and adults.
Themes & Episode Highlights
Episodes like *“The Burger”* feature Gumball and Darwin attempting to eat healthy with absurd consequences. Others—such as *“The Assistant”* or *“The App”*—satirize modern technology and virtual assistants. Critics praise its cleverness: TV Guide called the new revival “dazzling” and “delightfully bizarre”.
