Cartoon Network has greenlit season 3 and 4 of its hit animated comedy series, The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball, for international audiences.

The new order includes 40 episodes.

Produced by Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe, the series builds on the legacy of The Amazing World of Gumball with its blend of eclectic media styles, including 2D and 3D animation, CGI, puppetry, photorealism, and live action. Created and executive produced by Ben Bocquelet, the quarter-hour episodes “deliver sharp meta-humour and a vibrant visual style that has become a hallmark of the franchise.”

“The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball has proven completely irresistible to families and fans across the globe, making it the easiest of decisions to say an emphatic yes to this new season.”  said Vanessa Brookman, GM, International Kids, Animation and Franchise “I am thrilled to continue to work with Ben, Sarah and the hugely talented Gumball team on bringing more Wonderful Weirdness to our Cartoon Network audiences internationally.”

Sarah Fell, SVP & Studio Head, Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe says: “Gumball has been a massive success for the studio and it’s been so gratifying to see fans enthusiastically welcome these characters back to their screens. Ben Bocquelet, Erik Fountain, Matt Layzell, and the incredibly creative team were instrumental to its success, and I’m excited we get to deliver even more wonderful weirdness. Thankfully, this time fans won’t have to wait seven years.”
