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

The Bear renewed for season 5 at Hulu, premiere set for 2026
The Bear has officially been renewed for a fifth season at Hulu, with a premiere date slated for 2026. The announcement was confirmed by FX and Hulu, following the success of Season 4, which debuted in June 2025. The Emmy-winning series, created by Christopher Storer and produced by FX, has become a major hit for Hulu since its debut in 2022. FX chairman John Landgraf praised the team behind the show in a statement: 'The Bear continues to be a fan favorite worldwide. Their response to this season — as seen through incredibly high viewership — has been as spectacular as any of its previous seasons.' The Bear stars Jeremy Allen White as Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto, a fine-dining chef who returns to Chicago to run his late brother's sandwich shop, transforming it into a high-end restaurant. Ayo Edebiri co-stars as Sydney, with Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richie, Liza Colón-Zayas as Tina, and Lionel Bryce as Marcus. The ensemble cast also includes Abby Elliott, Matty Matheson, and guest stars such as Jamie Lee Curtis, Molly Gordon, Oliver Platt, and Jon Bernthal. The series has received widespread critical acclaim, earning a total of 21 Emmys across its first two seasons. Season 1 took home 10 Emmys, including Best Comedy Series and acting wins for White, Edebiri, and Moss-Bachrach. Season 2 followed with a record-breaking 11 Emmy wins, including a win for Colón-Zayas. Season 4's 10-episode drop continued to draw in strong viewership. With Season 5 now confirmed, fans can look forward to another chapter in the intense, character-driven culinary drama.

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt join Dancing With the Stars season 34
Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt, stars of Hulu's hit reality series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, are set to compete on Season 34 of Dancing With the Stars this fall. The announcement was made during the show's reunion special on Monday night. Affleck and Leavitt have been part of Mormon Wives since its September 2024 premiere. The series quickly became Hulu's most-watched unscripted program. When Season 2 launched on May 15, it surpassed the debut season's success, garnering five million views in just five days. Leavitt, who was cast as the group's 'villain' in Season 1 for distancing herself from the #MomTok influencer circle, worked to reconcile with fellow cast members in Season 2 — with mostly positive results, aside from holdout Mikayla Matthews. Affleck experienced a more turbulent second season. She and husband Zac Affleck faced marital challenges early on, but reconciled after learning they were expecting their third child. Affleck later exited filming due to prenatal depression. As of a June 27 Instagram post, she revealed she was in labor during a nail appointment, but has not confirmed the birth publicly. Taylor Frankie Paul, another central figure on the show, recently told Variety that the group is ready to welcome Affleck back. 'She stepped away for her mental health and is taking it step by step,' Paul said. 'We're very welcoming to her.' Affleck and Leavitt are the third and fourth celebrity contestants confirmed for the upcoming season, joining Robert Irwin and Alix Earle. Dancing With the Stars will return this fall on ABC and Disney+, with next-day streaming on Hulu. Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough will co-host, while judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough return to the panel.
