Bluey is an Australian animated TV show aimed at preschool audiences that first aired on ABC Kids on 1 October 2018. Developed by Joe Brumm in collaboration with Queensland's Ludo Studio, the narrative follows Bluey, a lively and imaginative six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy. She shares her home life with her father Bandit, mother Chilli, and younger sister Bingo, all of whom partake in creative play scenarios.[1] The characters portray various dog breeds, some drawn from Brumm’s own childhood pets.[2] Central themes include family bonds, Australian heritage, and the joys of childhood play.[1][3][4] Produced in Brisbane, the city itself serves as inspiration for the show's environment.[5] The series was jointly commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation, with BBC Studios handling its international distribution and merchandising.[1] In 2019, The Walt Disney Company acquired global broadcasting rights.[6]

Since its launch, Bluey has released a total of 154 episodes spanning three seasons. The show includes special holiday-themed episodes such as Christmas ("Verandah Santa" and "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), Father's Day ("Perfect"), along with a 28-minute special titled "The Sign."[7][8][9][10][11] In 2024, a series of brief "Minisodes," each lasting one to three minutes, were introduced.[12][13] A feature film is planned for global release in 2027, which will be creator Joe Brumm’s final writing credit before his departure.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name

Director Richard Jeffery earned an Australian Directors' Guild Award in 2021 for the episode "Sleepytime," which also secured the 2022 Prix Jeunesse International Award for TV – Up to 6 Years Fiction.[14][15] Composer Joff Bush received nominations at the APRA Screen Music Awards for his work on "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[16][17] The episode "Cricket" garnered significant praise from sports media outlets.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad nameCite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad nameCite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name Several episodes have been adapted into picture books, including "The Beach," which won both the Australian Book Industry Awards for Book of the Year and Children’s Picture Book of the Year (Ages 0–6) in 2020.[18][19] DVD releases of selected episodes are available throughout Australia via BBC Studios.[20]
