New Gumball Series Set for Global Rollout

The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball, a continuation of The Amazing World of Gumball, arrives on Cartoon Network’s international channels and Hulu in the U.S. later this year.

Produced by Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe, The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball is created and executive produced by Ben Bocquelet, returning to the world of Elmore to follow the antics of Gumball Watterson and his siblings. The animated comedy blends 2D and 3D animation, CGI, puppetry, photorealism and live action. It will also be available on HBO Max internationally.

Matt Layzell and Erik Fountain serve as executive producers and series directors. Bocquelet, Layzell and Fountain said, “What an amazing opportunity to play with these characters again! Fans can look forward to plenty more antics and misadventures in Elmore because Gumball and Darwin haven’t grown up much since we last saw them…we haven’t either.”

Vanessa Brookman, Warner Bros Discovery’s general manager for international kids, animation and franchise, said,  “We thought it was about time that Gumball and the rest of the gang woke up from their catnap, to do what they do best, and delight more fans with distinctive humor, visual inventiveness and wild adventures. Guided by the immense talents of Ben, Matt, Erik and team, the new series continues Gumball’s legacy as one of the most iconic, groundbreaking and beloved Cartoon Network shows of all time.”
