Hulu drops first trailer for 'The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball' reboot after 6-year hiatus
After six years off air, The Amazing World of Gumball returns with a new title, The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball. Hulu has released the first official trailer, offering a chaotic preview filled with visual experimentation and offbeat comedy. The trailer begins with Gumball declaring he was never gone—just preparing something bigger. It features meta-humour, wild 2D and 3D animation blends, and scenes involving virtual reality, animated burgers, and tentacles emerging from other dimensions. Gumball and Darwin reintroduce themselves to schoolmates like mythic figures, launching into scenes involving a haunted car, a living Necronomicon, and what appears to be a heart mascot under attack. The Watterson family will also face off against a sinister fast food empire and an AI obsessed with their mother, all rendered through a mix of CGI, puppetry, stop-motion, and live action. The reboot features new voice actors for Gumball, Darwin, and Anais—Alkaio Thiele, Hero Hunter, and Kinza Syed Khan—while original voices Teresa Gallagher and Dan Russell return as Nicole and Richard. Series creator Ben Bocquelet returns as executive producer alongside Matt Layzell and Erik Fountain. The creative team promises surreal 15-minute episodes packed with layered humour and unpredictable storylines. Fans can catch the SDCC panel on July 26 at the San Diego Convention Center, with the show premiering on Hulu in the US on July 28.

The Amazing World of Gumball Season 7: Release date, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on July 1, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated July 1, 2025, 11:14 IST After six long years, The Amazing World of Gumball is finally making its big return—and fans couldn't be more excited. The quirky, chaotic, and surprisingly emotional animated series is officially coming back under a new name: The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball . It's the same Elmore we know and love, just dialed up a notch. So, what's new in Season 7? When can we watch it? And who's voicing who this time around? Let's break it down. When Can We Watch Season 7? Get your calendars ready: The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball hits screens in the U.S. on July 28, 2025, streaming on Hulu and Disney+ (you'll need a Hulu subscription for the latter). If you're outside the U.S., you'll have to wait a bit longer—Cartoon Network and HBO Max will start airing it internationally on October 6, 2025. I know, the wait feels like forever, but after six years, a few more weeks won't kill us (probably). Some early rumors tossed around a vague 2025-2026 release, but these dates are locked in, so start planning your watch party now! Who's Voicing the Watterson Family? The voice cast is getting a bit of a shake-up, but don't worry—the heart of the Watterson family is still there. Here's the scoop on who's bringing Elmore's residents to life: Gumball Watterson : Say hello to Alkaio Thiele, the new voice of our troublemaking blue cat. Previous actors like Duke Cutler (from The Gumball Chronicles in 2021) have moved on, and Alkaio's fresh voice keeps Gumball's youthful mischief alive. Darwin Watterson : Hero Hunter steps in as Gumball's goldfish-turned-brother, ready to deliver those classic Darwin one-liners and sibling loyalty. Anais Watterson : Kinza Syed Khan takes over as the super-smart bunny sister, replacing Kyla Rae Kowalewski. Expect Anais to keep outsmarting everyone as usual. Nicole and Richard Watterson : Thank goodness Teresa Gallagher and Dan Russell are back as the tough-as-nails cat mom and the lovably clueless bunny dad. Their voices are like comfort food for longtime fans. The Rest of Elmore: We're still waiting on details for fan-favorites like Penny, Rob, or Banana Joe, but Adam Long (Mr. Small) has confirmed he's returning, so expect some familiar faces. There might be a few new voices in the mix, too, to keep things fresh. The new voices for the kids make sense—actors age, and the show needs that youthful vibe. But with veterans like Gallagher and Russell sticking around, the Watterson family's chaotic charm is in good hands. What's Coming in Season 7? If you've watched Gumball , you know it's a glorious mess of silly gags, meta humor, and surprisingly deep moments. Season 7, rebranded as The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball , is leaning hard into that vibe. Here's what we're in for: The Void Takes Center Stage Remember that crazy Season 6 cliffhanger? Rob, Gumball's glitchy nemesis, warned about the 'Void,' a creepy dimension where the universe hides its mistakes. Season 7 is diving headfirst into this mystery, with Gumball, Darwin, and friends facing whatever weirdness the Void throws at them. Rob's back, and he's got a big role, so expect some epic showdowns and answers to questions we've been obsessing over since 2019. A Huge Season with 40 Episodes Season 7 is giving us a massive 40 episodes to binge, and I'm here for it. We know the titles of the first 26, like The Cancellationgation , The Speedrun , and The Proposal . These sound like a mix of the show's signature meta-humor (cancellation jokes, anyone?), fast-paced antics, and maybe even some romantic drama for characters like Penny. I'm already curious who's proposing! A Bolder, Weirder Vibe The new title isn't just for show—it's a hint that Season 7 is doubling down on Elmore's bizarre charm. The teaser trailer, dropped on May 19, 2025, shows the Watterson house all dusty and abandoned, with Gumball joking about being 'seven years late for school.' It's a cheeky nod to the hiatus, and with the show's mix of 2D, 3D, stop-motion, and live-action animation, it's going to look as wild as ever.
