Trivia
- Following Series 1, 2 and 6, this is the fourth series to have 15 episodes.
- Before this series was officially confirmed to be the seventh series, many people speculated that it was the "second half" of Series 6.
- It's uncertain whether or not a hypothetical Series 8 would continue with having 15 episodes, or go back to 30 like with Series 3-5.
- All the new figured-out Numberblocks introduced are super rectangles.
- All the new figured-out Numberblocks introduced are also voiced by new voice actors instead of the old ones.
- Every new Numberblock except for Sixty-Three is a super-duper rectangle.
- Sixty-Three is also the only odd Numberblock introduced in Series 7.
- Fifty-Six is the only Numberblock introduced in Series 7 to not be a multiple of 3.
- All of the new figured-out Numberblocks introduced would ultimately complete the 6, 7, 8 and 9 times tables.
- 7 is the biggest physical prime number in this series, but 19 appears non-physical.
- This series was teased a bit too early when Daisy Kavanagh-Spall's LinkedIn revealed she animated for this series and Series 6.
- The episodes released too early when the Indonesian channel "Mentari TV" leaked the entirety of Series 7 on 19th-20th July.
- Zero, Eleven, Thirteen, Seventeen, Nineteen, Twenty-Two, Twenty-Three, Twenty-Six, Twenty-Nine, Thirty-One and Fifty-Five do not appear in this series. This is because they are not part of the 10x10 times table.
- In the opposite case, every single Numberblock in the 10x10 table do appear.
- In the special case of Nineteen and Fifty-Five, they make non-physical cameos in the form of bricks in Nine's Time to Shine, though their faces aren't seen.
- This series is the third series to have compound Numberblocks we haven’t seen yet, the first being Series 4 with 23-99, and the second being Series 5 with One Hundred and One in the series finale.
- While not physical, Thirty-Seven, Forty-Six, Seventy-Three, Eighty-Two, and Ninety-One are the compounds who appear as bricks only.
- If it wasn't obvious already, the theme of this series is about introducing, reinforcing, and expanding upon topics about multiplication (and division) in a way that children from preschoolers to late elementary students can understand.
- The different theming between it and series 6 is likely why they are two separate series.
- The episodes seem to be sorted through the times table by factors. Despite that, theorists speculate some episodes to take place chronologically before others.
- For example, "Grid Games Galore" may have took place before "The Rolling Sixes", because Fifty-Four was better introduced in the former. Similarly, "Seventy-Two's Super Surprise" may have took place before "Super Eights Assemble". "Friendly Fours' Beach Day" and "All-Star Line-Up" likely took place before their respective times table songs in Series 5, "Four on the Floor" and "Sky High Fives".
- This series is confirmed to have started production in 2023.[1]
- According to a LinkedIn post that leaked the existence of the season, animation was processed from July to November 2023.
- If you acknowledge all of the other processes, Series 7 could have aired somewhere in the spring, after Series 6, that could've aired in January or February.
- A likely reason for it taking this long to air is because of scheduling or production issues.
- This series holds the record for having the most absences of One, Two, Three, and Four.
- One is absent from 8 episodes, Two is absent from 11, Three is absent from 13, and Four is absent from 10.
