No one even knows really. Gumball's fate post-Inquisition has always been weird. The OG finale was written with the assumption they'd get to lead into a finale special/movie, but that was delayed and cushioned with some random clipshow specials that I'm sure was handled by a different team anyway.
Cue an update that confirms the movie's happening--along with a sequel series(?) no one asked for--and it became clear this show was never going away for good.
But now we're left wondering why they only made 40 episodes of Wonderfully Weird before laying everyone off. Based on the content of those episodic first 20 it seems like they just want to keep things pushing indefinitely like all the other long-running animated sitcoms, so it's strange they couldn't just move forward with another season pickup early on. Wonderfully Weird was never presented as an "epilogue season" and what we've seen of the aforementioned episodic 20 episodes doesn't imply otherwise.
