The formerly known seventh season of The Amazing World of Gumball was first revealed at the 2023 Annecy International Animation Film Festival.

What Happens In The Trailer?

The trailer opens with a shot of the duo’s home, a glitching effect distorts the video until we see a clear shot of the home covered in dust as if abandoned for years. We go to Gumball and Darwin’s room, the alarm goes off and Gumball wakes up covered in dust. He asks “What the what is going on?”. He turns to Darwin, who also wakes up covered in kelp. He shakes it off and turns off the alarm. He says “aww dude, we’re late for school”. Gumball sneezes and all the dust blows away from the neighborhood.

Gumball asks Darwin “how late?” Darwin looks at the clock, gasps and says “Almost seven years”. The two gasp, which Gumball then turns into a yawn, he says, “five more minutes then” and the two go back to sleep. We see the original The Amazing World of Gumball logo followed by its iconic theme, the logo then shifts to the new The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball logo.

Read the synopsis below:

Welcome back to Elmore, where the laws of reality are a joke, and family life is anything but ordinary. Whether he’s battling an evil fast food empire, facing off against a sentient AI in love with his mom, or trying to stop Banana Joe from wearing pants—Gumball drags Darwin, Anais, and the rest of Elmore along for the ride. With even wilder stories, bigger twists, and surreal humor, they had to rename it: The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball.

The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball is created by Ben Bocquelet and stars Alkaio Thiele as Gumball Watterson, Hero Hunter as Darwin Watterson and more. The series is coming to Hulu (in the US) and Cartoon Network / HBO Max everywhere else in 2025.
