The Gabby's Dollhouse season 8 trailer promises fans a "mer-mazing" experience

The trailer for Gabby's Dollhouse season 8 was released on the series' official YouTube channel on July 11, 2023. It begins with Gabby announcing that the new season will see her and the cats as mermaids. In the snippets that follow, they're seen having "a whale of a time" aboard the mermaid cruise ship.

Gabby and her friends make it to the venue of the Sparkle Party, where she interacts with a cat who seems to be pessimistic about the concept of sparkle. She explains that a person sparkles when they do that "one special thing" which makes them happy, making the cat realize that they sparkle when they dance. The trailer ends with Gabby remarking that it was their "most mer-mazing adventure yet."

The official synopsis for Gabby's Dollhouse season 8 was provided with the trailer:
