The Amazing World of Gumball is getting a brand-new series from HBO Max and Cartoon Network.
The series joins the previously announced Amazing World of Gumball movie, which "begins when Gumball’s biggest fan finds the show’s missing episode and accidentally opens a portal connecting his world to Gumball’s cartoon world. Upon meeting his heroes, our super fan decides to team up with Gumball, Darwin, Anais, Richard and Nicole to save them from a nefarious force overtaking Elmore, while inadvertently unleashing a threat of their very own."
"We could not think of a better show to kick off our first batch of project greenlights under the Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe banner," Hanna-Barbera Studios Europ Co-Heads Sam Register and Vanessa Brookman said. "With this movie and new series, we have an ‘amazing’ opportunity with Ben to provide a satisfying conclusion that Gumball fans have been hoping for while also establishing the next chapter of this charming, colorful and inventive series."
"Gumball is one of those rare characters who effortlessly seems to tell us the truth, make us laugh and unify people, and now Bocquelet returns to bring Gumball back where he belongs – on an interdimensional journey right back to the fans," Warner Bros. Head of Kids & Family Programming Amy Friedman added.
Created by Ben Bocquelet, The Amazing World of Gumball premiered on Cartoon Network in 2011. Centering on Gumball and Darwin Watterson, the show ran for 240 episodes across six seasons, concluding in 2019 with "The Inquisition."
