What to expect in The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball Season 2

The story once again follows Gumball Watterson, his adopted brother Darwin, and their genius sister Anais as they navigate life in Elmore, “a town where logic rarely applies.” Alongside these bizarre storylines, Season 2 will finally address long-standing mysteries from the original series with the return of the franchise’s biggest villain, Rob, and the mysterious Void. Rob’s comeback is expected to bring answers to unresolved plot threads. 

The synopsis of The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball Season 2 reads, 

“The Watterson family is back to prove that reality is just a suggestion in their wonderfully weird world. Gumball, Darwin, and the town of Elmore are more chaotic, hilarious, and bizarre than ever before, navigating a fresh wave of absurdity. This season tackles a promposal involving Penny faking her own death, outright pandemonium with wild animals invading the suburbs, and a witchy student cult attempting a yearbook séance. ''The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball" is pure satire and hijinks, offering plenty of laughs for kids and adults alike, culminating in the long-awaited return of the franchise's biggest foe: Rob and The Void.”

This season features returning voice actors, with Alkaio Thiele voicing Gumball, Hero Hunter voicing Darwin, and Kinza Syed Khan voicing Anais. Meanwhile, Teresa Gallagher returns as Nicole Watterson, and Dan Russell once again voices Richard Watterson.
