List of episodes

The sixth season of the British-American animated television series The Amazing World of Gumball, created by Ben Bocquelet, will air on Cartoon Network in the United States on 2017. This season was originally intended to be the final season of the series,[1] but it was later revealed that the show would continue without the presence of Bocquelet.[2] The series focuses on the misadventures of Gumball Watterson, a blue 12-year-old cat, along with his adopted brother, Darwin, a goldfish. Together, they cause mischief among their family, as well as with the wide array of students at Elmore Junior High, where they attend middle school.

Concept

The season focuses on the misadventures of Gumball Watterson, a blue 12-year-old cat, along with his adopted brother, Darwin, a goldfish. Together, they cause mischief among their family, as well as with the wide array of students at Elmore Junior High, where they attend middle school. In a behind-the-scenes video documenting the production of the second season, creator Ben Bocquelet expanded on the development of some of the characters, and how they are based on interactions from his childhood.[3]

Production

On June 22, 2016, Cartoon Network renewed the series for a sixth season, that would air in 2017.[4] On September 6, 2016, Ben Bocquelet announced that the sixth season would be the last of the show,[5] although he stated that the sixth season would not be necessarily the end of the whole series.[6] Also, he expressed interest in a film adaptation of the series that would serve as the finale of the series altogether.[7]However, on October 8, 2016, it was announced that Bocquelet would be the only one leaving, and that the series would continue without him.
