On February 17, 2021, ''The Amazing World of Gumball: TheMovie'' was confirmed to be in production. On September 21, 2021, Bocquelet was confirmed to be on board to executive produce and direct. The film will serve as both the GrandFinale to the original series and a PilotMovie to a brand new one.

The series received a twenty-episode second season before the eighteen-episode first season even premiered, another twenty-episode third season shortly after the second season premiere, and two more twenty-episode seasons right before the third season premiere, and the sixth season was extended by two episodes, bringing its total to 50 hours (a little over two days) worth of episodes. It got a "sneak peek" (i.e., the first of two episodes) in the UK on May 2nd, 2011, and in the US on May 3. On June 22nd, 2016, it was announced that the show was renewed for a sixth season. In September 2016, series creator Ben Bocquelet [[https://twitter.com/benbocquelet/status/773256731908530177 confirmed that the sixth season will be his last season]], but that [[https://twitter.com/benbocquelet/status/773572339883794434 this is not necessarily the end of the show]] (which led to rumors that ''Gumball'' would have a seventh season, but Ben Bocquelet would not be involved with it. The rumors were finally put to rest when it was revealed that, yes, season six would be the final season, and, no, there wouldn't be any new episodes after that).

The series finale, "The Inquisition", aired on June 24, 2019 and ending on a SequelHook. On November 4, 2019, a spinoff mini-series called ''WesternAnimation/DarwinsYearbook'' (a collection of remixed clips with a narrative frame centered on Darwin trying to preserve the memories of the students and staff at Elmore Junior High) was announced and set to premiere on December 2. It consisted of six episodes. As of 2021, no new episodes have aired, but it was announced in the midst of Cartoon Network's Upfront that [[https://twitter.com/cartoonnetwork/status/1362099558856224772 the Gumball Movie is in development.]]

While the reception to the first season saw it mostly dubbed as SoOkayItsAverage, it quickly [[GrowingTheBeard grew in popularity and reputation]] as it progressed, turning into a fast-paced, [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou highly meta]] and [[BitingTheHandHumor heavily satirical comedy]] that often weaponised its art-style into [[DerangedAnimation full-blown psychedelia]]. The series is also infamous for having hefty amounts of raunchy and [[BlackComedy morbid]] humor - including one notorious scene that had a literal dead baby joke - and being frequently {{Bowdlerised}} as a result. The only place the show can be seen uncensored is the series home of the United Kingdom, as every nation Bowlderises the show ''differently''.
