“The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball” Opening Title Sequence Released + International Release Details Announced

One of this summer’s most anticipated animated series is “The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball”, which continues the surreal humour and wild storytelling of the multi-award-winning The Amazing World of Gumball.  Created and executive produced by Ben Bocquelet, this quarter-hour animated comedy series blends an eclectic mix of media styles – including 2D & 3D animation, CGI, puppetry, photorealism and live action – into a wildly imaginative world defined by its vibrant visual style and sharp meta humour.

Warner Bros. has released a new video from “The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball”, giving fans a first look at the opening sequence.

Matt Layzell and Erik Fountain serve as Executive Producers and Series Directors. The Composer for the series is Xav Clarke and Joe Sparrow serves as Art Director. The stellar voice cast includes Alkaio Thiele as Gumball, Hero Hunter as Gumball’s younger brother Darwin, Kinza Syed Khan as younger sister Anais, Teresa Gallagher as his mother Nicole, and Dan Russell as his father Richard, and many more.

The “Amazing World of Gumball” is famed for its humorous depictions of the imperfect realities of growing up where everything ordinary becomes extraordinary. The animation was created in 2011 when Ben Bocquelet decided to take some rejected characters he had created for commercials and put them together in one series set inside of a school!  Some of the characters in Elmore are based on Ben Bocquelet’s real family!

The new series will premiere in the United States on July 28th 2025, on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.

It’s also been announced that the new series will launch on Monday, 6th October 2025, across Europe, The Middle East, Africa, Latin America and APAC and on HBO Max.
