Gumball's Back! New Season, New Home, New Name!
Okay, so you remember The Amazing World of Gumball, right? That crazy, hilarious cartoon that kept us all entertained for years? Well, get ready, because it’s BACK!
Gumball's Hulu-rious Return!
After a super long break (like, six years!), The Amazing World of Gumball is getting a reboot, and it's moving to Hulu in North America. I know, right? A total surprise! Internationally, Cartoon Network still holds the reins. But the biggest news? It's got a new, slightly more descriptive name: The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball.
A Whole New World (of Streaming)
Hulu isn't just getting the new season; they'll have ALL the old episodes too. Think of it as a Gumball marathon waiting to happen! A release date is still under wraps, but Hulu promises it'll be sometime before the end of 2025. They even dropped a teaser trailer – and let me tell you, it's pure Gumball chaos.
Meet the New Voices (and the Familiar Ones!)
Here’s where things get interesting. We've got new voice actors for Gumball and Darwin. That's a lot of changes over the years, but the show has always handled these transitions well, so don’t worry! This is the fifth pairing of Gumball and Darwin voice actors since the show began way back in 2011. Alkaio Thiele will now voice Gumball and Hero Hunter takes on Darwin. Meanwhile, the amazing Teresa Gallagher and Dan Russell will be back as Nicole and Richard Watterson. Phew! At least some things stay the same!
- Gumball (Seasons 1-3): Logan Grove
- Gumball (Seasons 4-5): Jacob Hopkins
- Gumball (Season 6): Nicholas Cantu
- Gumball (Specials): Duke Cutler
- Gumball (Season 7): Alkaio Thiele
Same thing applies to Darwin. It’s been a carousel of talented voice actors over the years.
What to Expect from the New Season
According to the creators (Ben Bocquelet, Matt Layzell, and Erik Fountain), we’re in for “plenty more antics and misadventures in Elmore.” And from the sound of it, they’re not kidding. The teaser shows Gumball and Darwin waking up after a seven-year nap, completely oblivious to the passage of time. They then get back to bed. Seriously!
The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball promises "wilder stories, bigger twists, and surreal humor." It's supposed to pick up where season six left off. How cool is that?
So, Are You Excited?
I know I am! A whole new season of Gumball shenanigans? Sign me up! To be honest, this is almost as surprising as the news of a new season itself. The teaser looks fantastic; that signature Gumball weirdness is still there. This really speaks to the enduring appeal of the show. I also want to say that the fact that the show is continuing really showcases how great and special the program really is. It’s not just a nostalgic trip; it’s a testament to the show's enduring appeal. So yeah, I think we can all agree that there’s a lot of excitement for this new season! Plus, did you hear about that new movie?! More on that as it drops!
