The fifth season of the British-American animated television series The Amazing World of Gumball, created by Ben Bocquelet, aired on Cartoon Network in the United States on September 1, 2016. The series 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.

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 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.

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 will again receive new voice actors due to the current ones hitting puberty: Jacob Hopkins will be replaced by Nicolas Cantu (as Gumball) and Terrell Ransom, Jr. will be 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, Jr. were replaced.

On September 17, 2015, series creator Ben Bocquelet announced on his Twitter page that a crossover episode with another Cartoon Network show would air as part of the fifth season.

Characters from Clarence, Regular Show and Uncle Grandpa make cameo appearances in the episode, "The Boredom".
