One of animation’s most hilariously chaotic characters is making a triumphant return! The beloved blue cat, Gumball Watterson, and his wonderfully weird universe are back in an all-new series: The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball! This fresh chapter of the multi-award-winning cartoon—hailed by BAFTA, the International Emmys, and the Annies—is gearing up to launch later this year on Cartoon Network International, Hulu (U.S.), and HBO Max (international).
What’s New in Elmore?
Step back into the surreal town of Elmore, where normal is just a suggestion and reality bends to the bizarre. Gumball is up to his usual antics—taking on rogue fast-food chains, dueling AI with a crush on his mom, and trying (unsuccessfully) to stop Banana Joe from wearing pants! Alongside his brother Darwin, sister Anais, and the rest of the eccentric Elmore gang, Gumball delivers even wilder storylines, unpredictable twists, and laugh-out-loud moments that redefine animated comedy.
Created by Ben Bocquelet and brought to life by Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe, this quarter-hour comedy series blends 2D, 3D, CGI, puppetry, photorealism, and live action into a mind-bending mix of media and satire. It’s a visual treat and a comedic masterpiece all in one.
Meet the Voices Behind the Madness:

Executive producers Matt Layzell and Erik Fountain join Bocquelet in pushing the creative limits. Xav Clarke composes the original score, while Joe Sparrow crafts the show’s unique art direction.
From the creators: “We’re thrilled to bring these characters back to life. Gumball and Darwin haven’t grown up a bit—neither have we—and we can’t wait for fans to laugh, gasp, and get weird all over again!”
According to Vanessa Brookman, General Manager of International Kids, Animation & Franchise at Warner Bros. Discovery: “This reboot honors Gumball’s legacy as a bold, clever, and wildly beloved series. Fans both old and new are in for a ride!”
So, get ready to laugh till your cheeks hurt—The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball is about to take over your screen!
