The Amazing World of Gumball

The Amazing World of Gumball (abbreviated to TAWOG, or referred to as simply Gumball) is an animated sitcom created by Ben Bocquelet for Cartoon Network. The series concerns the lives of 12-year-old Gumball Watterson, a blue cat, and his goldfish best friend and adoptive brother 10-year-old Darwin, who attend middle school in the fictional city of Elmore, California. They often find themselves in various shenanigans around the city, during which they interact with fellow family members—younger sister Anais, mother Nicole, and father Richard—and an extended supporting cast of characters.

Bocquelet based several of the series' characters on rejected characters from his previous commercial work while making its premise a mixture of "family shows and school shows", which Cartoon Network was heavily interested in. After Bocquelet pitched The Amazing World of Gumball to the network, Turner Broadcasting executive Daniel Lennard green-lit the production of the series. It is the first to be produced by Cartoon Network Studios Europe (now Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe), with production association with Boulder Media Limited in Ireland, Dandelion Studios in Japan (season 1), and Studio SOI in Germany (season 2 onward).

Gumball is noted for its intentional stylistic disunity, with characters designed, filmed, and animated using various styles and techniques, oftentimes within the same scene (stylised traditional animation, puppetry, CGI, stop motion, Flash animation, live-action, etc.). The series has received widespread critical acclaim and since developed a cult following, with particular praises for its extensive references to popular and internet culture, sarcasm, subtle innuendos, and dark humour. Although a family comedy show, Gumball also handles serious subject matters, including philosophy, marriage, cyberbullying, political intolerance, mental illness, and the human condition.

On September 6, 2016, Bocquelet announced the series would end after season 6; he reaffirmed his position on Twitter in October 2018. However, Turner Northern Europe was unable to confirm the sixth season to be the show's last, which could make way for future episodes. Following the programme's finale, two miniseries were released: the six-episode Darwin's Yearbook in November 2019 and The Gumball Chronicles in October 2020. On February 17, 2021, Cartoon Network revealed that a TV movie based on the series was in development. On September 21, 2021, it was announced that a new spin-off series, to be a follow-up for both the show and the movie, had been greenlit for Cartoon Network and HBO Max alongside the movie.
