The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball (also known simply as Gumball or by its abbreviation TWWWOG) is an animated television series created by Ben Bocquelet for Hulu. It is a revival of the Cartoon Network series The Amazing World of Gumball. The series focuses on the misadventures of Gumball Watterson, a blue 12-year-old cat, along with his adopted brother, Darwin, a goldfish.

This season takes place seven years after the last season of the main series, but the main characters will remain the same age.

At the 2023 Annecy International Animation Film Festival, a seventh season of The Amazing World of Gumball was announced to be in production, with no release date yet confirmed. An EIDR listing would reveal that the seventh season would have 40 episodes. At the following year's festival, details on the seventh season were revealed, including the announcement that it was now under full production, and a preview of the episode "The Burger", which is the season premiere, was showcased.
In May 2025, it was announced that it would officially be retitled The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball, with the season releasing in 2025 on Hulu in the United States and Cartoon Network internationally.

Meanwhile, Teresa Gallagher and Dan Russell will return to voice Nicole and Richard Watterson, respectively. A teaser trailer was released to accompany the announcement.
