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.

The fifth season began filming on March 3, 2016 and ended filming on May 12, 2017. On June 2, 2014, Cartoon Network announced that the series had been renewed a fourth and fifth season.[2] Both seasons combined will consist of 40 half-hour episodes.[3] The writers for this season were Nathan Auerbach, Daniel Berg, Ben Bocquelet, Joe Parham, Tobi Wilson, Andrew Jones, Ciaran Murtagh, Joe Markham, John Sheerman, Louise Coats, James Hamilton, James Huntrods, Jessica Ransom, Jon Foster, James Lamont, Brydie Lee-Kennedy, Simon Landrein, Timothy Mills, Tom Neenan, Jon Purkis, Jack Bernhardt, Bec Hill, Jonny Leigh-Wright, Joseph Pelling, and Becky Sloan. The storyboard artists for the season were Adrian Maganza, Aurelie Charbonnier Wandrille Maunoury, Cedric Guarneri, Oliver Hamilton, Richard Méril, Yani Ouabdesselam, Bianca Ansems, Kenneth Ladekjaer, and Chloé Nicolay. At the end of this episode, "The Copycats", Gumball and Darwin again received new voice actors due to the previous ones hitting puberty: Jacob Hopkins was replaced by Nicolas Cantu (as Gumball) and Terrell Ransom, Jr. was replaced by Donielle Hansley, Jr. (as Darwin), though the episode "The Ollie" leaked online and on most cable OnDemand programs in December, complete with end credits that reveal that the episode was made after Hopkins and Ransom were replaced.[4]
This season had an average of 998 thousand viewers per episode.[citation needed]
Crossovers
[edit]Characters from Clarence, Regular Show and Uncle Grandpa make cameo appearances in the episode, "The Boredom".[citation needed]
Miracle Star
[edit]Miracle Star (Chinese: 奇奇妙乐星; pinyin: Qí qímiào lè xīng; lit. 'The Weird', ' Wonderful', ' and Delightful Star') is a Chinese children's animated comedy series created by Chinese food company Sanyuan Foods to promote a brand of goat milk of the same name. The show is best known for plagiarizing the British-American Cartoon Network show The Amazing World of Gumball.[5]
The series is about an anthropomorphic goat named Miao Le Xing (famously referred to as Kiki) and his talking pet frog named Gua-Gua (famously referred to as Quack) who lives in an apartment with their parents. Miracle Star is known for imitating the scenes, character designs and animation style of The Amazing World of Gumball.[6][7]
The series aired from 2014 to 2017, with a total of 12 episodes broadcast before being cancelled due to negative reviews.[8]
In response to the plagiarism, Cartoon Network released the 167th episode of Gumball, "The Copycats", to address Miracle Star's plagiarism more directly.[6]

Join desk anchor Kip Schlezinger and his field reporter, Mike (the microphone-headed reporter first seen on "The Oracle"), as they cover all of Elmore's goings-on on the Channel 6 News, from a robbery at Joyful Burger to Daisy the Donkey's on-air meltdown during a show taping. This episode first aired in Africa on July 23, 2017. In the African airing, Kip Schlezinger was portrayed as a live-action human (the same one seen on such episodes as "The Pizza," "The Nest," and "The Signal") played by Gumball crew member, Rich Overall.[57] In all other airings (including UK reruns and airings on Cartoon Network's American channel), however, Kip was changed to an anthropomorphic newspaper puppet (the original cut also had the science correspondent and the sports anchor as humans while the redone version had the science correspondent as a lab rat while the sports anchor is a puppet made from a "We're #1" foam finger, a novelty wig, and an airhorn). According to Ben Bocquelet, the change was done because no one besides him liked the live-action version, which also explains why this episode was held back from airing, as it originally was supposed to premiere after "The Heist".[58] | |||||||||
