The Amazing World of Gumball Season 7: Release date, cast updates and what to expect next
After six long years, The Amazing World of Gumball is finally making its big return—and fans couldn't be more excited. The quirky, chaotic, and surprisingly emotional animated series is officially coming back under a new name: The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball . It's the same Elmore we know and love, just dialed up a notch.
So, what's new in Season 7? When can we watch it? And who's voicing who this time around? Let's break it down. When Can We Watch Season 7?
Get your calendars ready: The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball hits screens in the U.S. on July 28, 2025, streaming on Hulu and Disney+ (you'll need a Hulu subscription for the latter). If you're outside the U.S., you'll have to wait a bit longer—Cartoon Network and HBO Max will start airing it internationally on October 6, 2025. I know, the wait feels like forever, but after six years, a few more weeks won't kill us (probably). Some early rumors tossed around a vague 2025-2026 release, but these dates are locked in, so start planning your watch party now! Who's Voicing the Watterson Family?
The voice cast is getting a bit of a shake-up, but don't worry—the heart of the Watterson family is still there. Here's the scoop on who's bringing Elmore's residents to life: Gumball Watterson : Say hello to Alkaio Thiele, the new voice of our troublemaking blue cat. Previous actors like Duke Cutler (from The Gumball Chronicles in 2021) have moved on, and Alkaio's fresh voice keeps Gumball's youthful mischief alive.
Darwin Watterson : Hero Hunter steps in as Gumball's goldfish-turned-brother, ready to deliver those classic Darwin one-liners and sibling loyalty.
Anais Watterson : Kinza Syed Khan takes over as the super-smart bunny sister, replacing Kyla Rae Kowalewski. Expect Anais to keep outsmarting everyone as usual.
Nicole and Richard Watterson : Thank goodness Teresa Gallagher and Dan Russell are back as the tough-as-nails cat mom and the lovably clueless bunny dad. Their voices are like comfort food for longtime fans.
The Rest of Elmore: We're still waiting on details for fan-favorites like Penny, Rob, or Banana Joe, but Adam Long (Mr. Small) has confirmed he's returning, so expect some familiar faces. There might be a few new voices in the mix, too, to keep things fresh.
The new voices for the kids make sense—actors age, and the show needs that youthful vibe. But with veterans like Gallagher and Russell sticking around, the Watterson family's chaotic charm is in good hands. What's Coming in Season 7?
If you've watched Gumball , you know it's a glorious mess of silly gags, meta humor, and surprisingly deep moments. Season 7, rebranded as The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball , is leaning hard into that vibe. Here's what we're in for: The Void Takes Center Stage
Remember that crazy Season 6 cliffhanger? Rob, Gumball's glitchy nemesis, warned about the 'Void,' a creepy dimension where the universe hides its mistakes. Season 7 is diving headfirst into this mystery, with Gumball, Darwin, and friends facing whatever weirdness the Void throws at them. Rob's back, and he's got a big role, so expect some epic showdowns and answers to questions we've been obsessing over since 2019. A Huge Season with 40 Episodes
Season 7 is giving us a massive 40 episodes to binge, and I'm here for it. We know the titles of the first 26, like The Cancellationgation , The Speedrun , and The Proposal . These sound like a mix of the show's signature meta-humor (cancellation jokes, anyone?), fast-paced antics, and maybe even some romantic drama for characters like Penny. I'm already curious who's proposing! A Bolder, Weirder Vibe
The new title isn't just for show—it's a hint that Season 7 is doubling down on Elmore's bizarre charm. The teaser trailer, dropped on May 19, 2025, shows the Watterson house all dusty and abandoned, with Gumball joking about being 'seven years late for school.' It's a cheeky nod to the hiatus, and with the show's mix of 2D, 3D, stop-motion, and live-action animation, it's going to look as wild as ever.

Iran Film, Dakota Johnson, Stellan Skarsgard, Peter Sarsgaard, Vicky Krieps Honors Set for Karlovy Vary
A film from Iran that has been kept secret so far to ensure the safety of its delegation, along with Dakota Johnson, Stellan Skarsgård, Peter Sarsgaard and Vicky Krieps, has joined the lineup for the 59th edition of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (KVIFF). Known as a popular stop on the film festival circuit for many stars, Karlovy Vary had previously already unveiled a visit from Michael Douglas this year. More from The Hollywood Reporter BBC Introduces News Paywall for U.S. Users Catherine Hardwicke Praises Heath Ledger, Talks 'Twilight' at Mediterrane Film Festival Masterclass Disney+ Sets July Premiere for Korean Treasure-Hunt Drama 'Low Life' The 12th and final film of this year's Karlovy Vary Crystal Globe main competition program is Iran's Bidad from director Soheil Beiraghi, which tells the story of young singer Seti who refuses to accept the fact that women in Iran are not allowed to perform in public. 'In defiance of her country's religious laws, she decides to sing in the street,' according to a synopsis. 'Her performances quickly gain in popularity, and Seti becomes a star for a young generation that no longer wants to be oppressed by the regime.' Bidad was made as an independent production. 'Otherwise, it would never have been approved by the censors because of its critical tone,' KVIFF highlighted. 'Even so, director Soheil Beiraghi was investigated by the authorities during filming. It was necessary to withhold announcement of the film's inclusion in the festival's program until he and the members of his crew could safely travel out of Iran. A few days ago, the festival team was overjoyed to hear that they were on their way.' While the stars have aligned for the world premiere of Bidad, the stars have also lined up to travel to the Czech festival. Swedish film and theater actor Skarsgård, recipient of a Golden Globe award, will return to Karlovy Vary to be presented the Crystal Globe for Outstanding Artistic Contribution to World Cinema. He will also present his new film Sentimental Value, directed by Joachim Trier, which won the Grand Prix at this year's Cannes Film Festival. At the KVIFF opening ceremony, the KVIFF President's Award will be presented to Krieps (Phantom Thread, Bergman Island), winner of a European Film Award for best actress for Marie Kreutzer's Corsage and 'one of today's exceptional acting talents,' said KVIFF organizers. The festival will be showing Anna Cazenave Cambet's film Love Me Tender, starring Krieps. Also at the opening ceremony, the fest will present the KVIFF President's Award to Sarsgaard, who most recently starred in director Tim Fehlbaum's September 5. He has also wrapped production on Warner Bros.' The Bride!, which also stars Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley and is set for release later this year. Directed by his wife, Maggie Gyllenhaal, the film takes place in 1930s Chicago and puts a spin on the classic Frankenstein story. In Sarsgaard's honor, the festival will screen the journalism drama Shattered Glass (2003). Also on the first weekend of KVIFF 2025, namely on Sunday, July 6, Johnson will be honored with the KVIFF President's Award and present her two latest films, Michael Angelo Covino's Splitsville and Celine Song's Materialists. 'Dakota Johnson continues her family's multigenerational acting tradition, as represented by her grandmother Tippy Hedren and both of her parents, award-winning Hollywood stars Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson,' fest organizers said. It should thus not come as a surprise that her film debut was at age 10, when she appeared in Crazy in Alabama (1999, directed by Antonio Banderas).' In addition to this year's festival honorees, various other big names are also expected in Karlovy Vary. For example, the world premiere of Out of Love will be presented by the film's star, French actress Camille Cottin, whom audiences know from Call My Agent! and House of Gucci, among others. The international premiere of Rebuilding will be presented by Max Walker-Silverman, who returns to Karlovy Vary three years after presenting his feature film debut A Love Song there. Another American coming to town is Jay Duplass, who will attend the screening of his comedy The Baltimorons. Mexican director Michel Franco returns to Karlovy Vary after just one year to screen his latest film Dreams, which stars Jessica Chastain and had its world premiere at this year's Berlinale. Also, Mstyslav Chernov, winner of a Pulitzer Prize and an Oscar for his 20 Days in Mariupol, will be in town to present his latest documentary, 2000 Metres to Andriivka. Finally, the historical drama Two Prosecutors, which had its world premiere in the main competition in Cannes, will be introduced by its director, Sergei Loznitsa.

Blessed be the comeback? ‘The Handmaid's Tale' is on track to return to this major Emmy category for final season
After being The Handmaid's Tale's only Emmy nomination for the fifth season, Elisabeth Moss is probably the show's best shot at being recognized for its sixth and final season this year. At the moment, Moss is in fifth place in Gold Derby's odds for Best Drama Actress, which is set to have five slots. But if the 2017 drama series champ gets a farewell hug from voters, don't be surprised to see it pop up in other races, including the acting category it once dominated unlike any other: Best Drama Guest Actress. Up until the fifth season, the Hulu series had fielded at least one nominee in the category each time it was eligible. For the first season in 2017, it landed a lone nomination for Alexis Bledel, who prevailed. The following year, it tripled its Season 1 total with bids for Kelly Jenrette, Cherry Jones, and eventual winner Samira Wiley. While it wasn't eligible for a full season in 2019, it was allowed to enter the final three outings of Season 2 as orphaned episodes and occupied a slot with Jones, who gave the show its third straight victory in the category. For the third season in 2020, it picked up another mention for Bledel, who was also cited alongside Mckenna Grace for the fourth season in 2021. Grace was eligible again for the fifth season two years later, but she was likely hurt by the general apathy toward the season, which earned 20 fewer noms than the prior one. More from Gold Derby 2025's 10 best TV shows so far: 'Adolescence,' 'Cobra Kai,' and 'Severance' among our editors' top picks 'No way we're changing the title': 'Trainwreck: Poop Cruise' director on creating Netflix smash hit and why a sequel is 'screaming to be made' This year, Handmaid's has double the chance to return to the category, fielding two contenders in Jones and Season 6 addition . Of the two, only the former is currently expected to crack the six-person lineup, sitting in fifth place in Gold Derby's odds, but that's not surprising. A five-time nominee and three-time winner — including a second time in this category, for Succession in 2020 — Jones is an Emmy fave, and she's already been recognized for her role on the series. As Holly, June's (Moss) activist mother who was presumed dead but turns up alive in one of Season 6's most shocking moments, she gets her best material yet in the show's farewell installment, and has the benefit of not just sharing most of her scenes with Moss but having the bulk of her screen time in the first two episodes. Though certainly not a new name to Emmy voters as a previous nominee herself, for The Good Place in 2020, Carden faces a bigger hurdle as a late cast addition who also doesn't make her first appearance until the seventh episode of the final season, meaning voters have to have stuck around until the end to see her performance. But if they did, they ought to have been impressed by her fierce turn as Ava, a CIA operative working undercover as an Aunt in Gilead to help take down the totalitarian theocracy from within. SEE D'Arcy Carden on her 'dream come true' joining 'The Handmaid's Tale' and Phoebe's 'different Aunt energy' The big question for both actresses is whether Handmaid's can rebound after almost being shut out for its fifth season. Though it's made a massive comeback before, nabbing a series-high 21 bids for its fourth season after dipping to what was at the time a series-low 10 for its third, it did so under different circumstances. Not only was the show aiming to recover from a considerably higher nomination total that notably still included a drama series nom, but it did so in a wide-open year for drama that was littered with ineligibilities due to the pandemic. This year's field is much more crowded, with multiple returning heavy-hitters, including The Last of Us, The White Lotus, Squid Game, and Severance, as well as several breakout hits, including The Pitt and Hulu stablemate Paradise, in contention. But what Handmaid's has going for it is timing. Much like the third season, which aired in the summer of 2019, the fifth one aired in the first half of the eligibility window, from September to November 2022, likely making it a distant memory by the time voting began the following June. For its final season, the dystopian drama returned to its usual mid-spring slot, having premiered with three episodes on April 8. Its series finale dropped on May 27, just a little over two weeks before voting opened on June 12, which means the show was probably top of mind for TV Academy members as they marked off their ballots. Of course, that's assuming they were caught up on the series by then, but if its streaming numbers for the week of the finale are anything to go by, there's little reason to believe they weren't. Bolstered by its best reviews since Season 2, the show has also received a renewed push from both critics and its streamer in the home stretch. Though final-season narratives don't always pan out at the Emmys (ask This Is Us, which was expected to make a big splash for its sixth and final season but wound up with just a single bid for one of its original songs), Handmaid's can flaunt a unique legacy. Not only has it changed the game for streaming shows at the Emmys as the first one to win a series prize, but it has also permeated real-life politics, with the red cloaks and white bonnets worn by the namesake concubines on the series having become international protest symbols in the fight for women's rights and reproductive freedom. Even if that legacy isn't enough for Handmaid's to make a full-scale comeback, it may suffice to push it back into the acting categories, in which it's historically performed well, earning 28 of its 76 total nominations and six of its 15 wins there. Of this year's acting races, Best Drama Guest Actress is arguably the most unsettled one, with only the top four in the odds — The Last of Us duo Kaitlyn Dever and Catherine O'Hara, and Severance's Gwendoline Christie and Merritt Wever — being safe bets for noms. Hilary Swank is in sixth place for Yellowjackets, but the Paramount+ with Showtime series hasn't exactly been a hit with the acting branch and has to overcome the polarizing reception to its eligible third installment. So if voters looked to fill the final few slots on their ballots, they may have just gone back to one of their former faves in the category and sent Handmaid's some good weather one last time.

3-Year-OId Wants To Go To Disneyland for Birthday, Parents Did One Better
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Washington couple found a way to make all their daughter's birthday dreams come true at a fraction of the price. Kim Egan moved from Los Angeles to Gig Harbor with her husband Brian and their two young children two years ago. She took to Reddit to reveal the big surprise they put together for their daughter Millie's third birthday: a homemade mini Disneyland. It was a shrewd choice, given the costs of a trip to see Mickey Mouse and the gang in person and one Egan was happy to share to Reddit under the handle u/DMMeYourCat. An analysis by the money-saving advice website Nerdwallet found that the cost of an average ticket for a family of four going to Disney World stands at $713. The analysis also puts the cheapest-priced ticket for a single day trip to the park at $160 per person. Many would have balked at the idea of building a mini DisneyLand from scratch, but Egan and her husband had form where this was concerned. "We wanted to do something special because last year we made homemade Sesame Street characters," Egan told Newsweek. The family displays the Disneyland of their own that they made. The family displays the Disneyland of their own that they made. Instagram/dotton_creative That experience proved invaluable this time around. "Last year, it was cardboard, this year, it's SP Styrofoam," Egan said. "We learned and adapted." Together, the couple created cardboard cutouts of all the familiar Disney favorites: Mickey, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck and Pluto, as well as characters from movies like Aladdin and The Little Mermaid. Those were only the tip of the iceberg when it came to the Egans' creativity, though. Not only did they put together a mini Disney castle for Millie to enjoy, but there was also a Sebastian's Splash Shack and, best of all, a Mickey Mouse-themed cinema projecting classic clips from the movies. "My husband is an animator who specializes in projection-mapping. He made a custom projection show, based on her favorite songs," Egan said. The Disneyland includes its very own cinema.

Instagram/dotton_creative Egan said the couple spent two months working away on the project while the hardest part of the whole thing was "keeping it a secret" from their kids. "Millie had no idea what we were doing up until the day that it happened," Egan added. "She was over the moon." While keeping things a secret may not have been easy, Egan said that she and her husband "had a blast making something special for our daughters" and creating memories for themselves. "When the kids would go to sleep, my husband and I would spend hours laughing, talking and painting," Egan said. "It's a wonderful bonding experience for the whole family to enjoy." This isn't the end of the fun either, with Egan and her husband already plotting to put their family's new mini-Disneyland to good use over the festive break. "We are planning to display it for Christmas, so everyone of all ages can enjoy it, too," Egan said. There will also bound to be plans afoot for something even bigger and better for the next birthday in the family.
