The season focuses on the misadventures of Gumball Watterson, a blue 12-year-old cat, along with his adopted brother, Darwin, a goldfish. 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. In a behind-the-scenes video documenting the production of the second season, creator Ben Bocquelet expanded on the development of some of the characters, and how they are based on interactions from his childhood.
Production
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. Both seasons combined will consist of 40 half-hour episodes.
Starting with the 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.
Crossovers
Characters from Clarence, Regular Show and Uncle Grandpa make cameo appearances in the episode, "The Boredom".
