List of The Amazing World of Gumball episodes

Series overview

The show follows the misadventures of Gumball Watterson, his adoptive brother Darwin, and their family and classmates in the fictional town of Elmore. Episodes blend humor, satire and occasional surrealism, with plots ranging from slice-of-life school stories to absurdist high-concept premises. While often targeted at children, many episodes include jokes and references that appeal to older viewers and critics praised the series for its visual inventiveness and witty writing.

Episode format and production

Most entries are short-form episodes composed of one or two segments roughly eleven minutes each; a number of episodes are full-length single stories or special installments that run longer. The series is notable for its hybrid visual style, combining traditional 2D animation, CGI characters, photographic backgrounds, puppetry elements and compositing techniques. Production orders, broadcast orders and streaming presentation can differ, so an episode’s production code may not match its first-aired position.

Seasons, specials and miniseries

The series was produced across six principal seasons, with production and creative leadership changing near the end of the run. Series creator Bocquelet announced he would depart after completing work on the sixth season; that season is generally regarded as the show’s final numbered season. In November 2019, Cartoon Network announced a six-episode miniseries titled Darwin’s Yearbook, which revisits characters in a shorter format and serves as a postscript to the main run.

How episode lists are organized

• Official episode guides often list episodes by broadcast date; internal production lists use production codes that reflect the studio’s sequence.
• Episode entries typically include title, original air date, season and episode number, a brief plot summary, and credits for writer and director.
• Specials and miniseries are sometimes catalogued separately from the numbered seasons.

Where to find authoritative episode information

For an official episode index and broadcast history consult the network or studio resources: an official episode guide can be found via the programme’s dedicated pages and press materials (official episode guide). Broad overviews and fan-compiled episode lists are available through major entertainment listings and repositories (episode database, season summaries). Background on the show’s creator and production notes may be found on creator profiles and interviews (Ben Bocquelet profile, network production notes).

When consulting episode lists, be mindful of discrepancies between different sources: reruns, international airings and streaming services sometimes reorder or combine segments, and retrospective collections may use a different counting method. Cross-referencing an episode’s title, first-air date and production code gives the clearest identification. For collectors, researchers and fans compiling a definitive list, combining network press releases with reliable secondary databases is the recommended approach.
