Hulu drops first trailer for 'The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball' reboot after 6-year hiatus

After six years off air, The Amazing World of Gumball returns with a new title, The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball. Hulu has released the first official trailer, offering a chaotic preview filled with visual experimentation and offbeat comedy.

The trailer begins with Gumball declaring he was never gone—just preparing something bigger. It features meta-humour, wild 2D and 3D animation blends, and scenes involving virtual reality, animated burgers, and tentacles emerging from other dimensions.

Gumball and Darwin reintroduce themselves to schoolmates like mythic figures, launching into scenes involving a haunted car, a living Necronomicon, and what appears to be a heart mascot under attack.

The Watterson family will also face off against a sinister fast food empire and an AI obsessed with their mother, all rendered through a mix of CGI, puppetry, stop-motion, and live action.

The reboot features new voice actors for Gumball, Darwin, and Anais—Alkaio Thiele, Hero Hunter, and Kinza Syed Khan—while original voices Teresa Gallagher and Dan Russell return as Nicole and Richard.

Series creator Ben Bocquelet returns as executive producer alongside Matt Layzell and Erik Fountain. The creative team promises surreal 15-minute episodes packed with layered humour and unpredictable storylines.

Fans can catch the SDCC panel on July 26 at the San Diego Convention Center, with the show premiering on Hulu in the US on July 28.
