The Amazing World of Gumball has returned as The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball, and fans are praising the new series, although they have a problem with episode 5.
After six years, The Amazing World of Gumball is back, but now as The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball. The series has been renewed, as announced back in 2023, but at the time, little was known about the show's return, except that it would have 40 episodes. Over time, new news began to emerge, such as the fact that the Waterson children had been recast. In season 7, Gumball and Darwin are voiced by Alkaio Thiele and Hero Hunter, respectively, while Anais is now voiced by Kinza Syed Khan.
The production was eagerly awaited by fans of The Amazing World of Gumball, who missed this bizarre series. The unusual, collage-style show, which plays with themes, reality, references, and everything else possible, has gained a large following around the world. And fans have been able to go back to the TV series on July 28. Or at least some of them, because on that day it debuted on Hulu in the United States. Viewers from other countries will have to wait for the premiere on October 6 on Cartoon Network and HBO Max.
On July 28, Hulu released 20 episodes of The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball, which the creators want to call a spin-off and continuation of the original series, rather than its seventh season, although many fans still view it as such.
Many viewers have already seen the new episodes, and although they point out that not all of them were perfect, the overall reception of The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball is positive. However, there is one episode that many people find disturbing and consider too strange even for The Amazing World of Gumball.
We are talking about the episode The Butts, which is the fifth in the new series. Fans of this bizarre series were overwhelmed by Gumball's efforts to make Principal Brown more confident about his butt so that he could recite a poem about butt during a poetry recital, which ended up turning into an even stranger song.
Why did the second half of episode 5 get freaky? I’m so flabbergasted – AGESRings_.
Do not watch season 7 episode 5 of new Gumball, worst mistake of my life – deeseefeel.
This episode is definitely gonna be the worst of the season – Successful_Intern618.
I was into it but it falls apart at the end. Why did this need to exist – y0shimiFriend.
This might be the worst episode of the entire show. I couldn't even finish it – Gorillazlyric400.
So even with such a highly anticipated return as the one of The Amazing World of Gumball, there were still some problems. But even though one episode is quite controversial, the rest seems to have been very well received, so the creators have reason to be satisfied. Fans who have already watched the first 20 episodes will have to wait a while for the next ones. Similarly, fans from other parts of the world will have to be patient for a few more months before they can even start watching The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball.
