The Amazing World of Gumball is an Irish–British-American animated television series created by Ben Bocquelet for Cartoon Network. It was produced by Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe. It first aired on May 3, 2011.[2]

The series is about the life of Gumball Watterson, a 12-year-old light blue cat. Along with his adoptive goldfish brother and best friend Darwin, he always finds himself in trouble around the city. He has a sister, Anais a pink rabbit, and parents Nicole (a cat) and Richard (a rabbit).

Gumball pitched The Amazing World of Gumball to the network and Turner Broadcasting executive Daniel Lennard subsequently greenlit production of the series. It is the first series to be produced by Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe. It is co-produced with Studio SOI and Great Marlborough Productions.

On June 2, 2014, Cartoon Network announced that they'd picked up the series for an additional fourth and fifth season.[3]
