Bluey is an Australian animated program designed for preschool audiences that first aired on ABC Kids on 1 October 2018. Developed by Joe Brumm in collaboration with Queensland-based production company Ludo Studio, the narrative centers on Bluey, a lively and creative six-year-old Blue Heeler pup. She shares her home life with her father, Bandit; mother, Chilli; and younger sibling, Bingo, who frequently participate in her imaginative adventures.[1] The characters depict a range of dog breeds, some of which are modeled after pets from Brumm’s own upbringing.[2] The series highlights nurturing family relationships, elements of Australian culture, and the value of play during childhood.[1][3][4] Produced in Queensland with Brisbane serving as a creative influence,[5] it was jointly commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the BBC.[1] Global distribution and merchandising rights are managed by BBC Studios,[1] while international broadcast rights were secured by The Walt Disney Company in 2019.[6]

Since its launch in 2018, Bluey has released 154 episodes across three seasons, including special holiday-themed installments such as Christmas ("Verandah Santa," "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), and Father's Day ("Perfect").[7][8][9][10] The third season included a notable extended episode lasting 28 minutes titled "The Sign."[11] Furthermore, brief "Minisodes" ranging from one to three minutes have been broadcast throughout 2024.[12][13] A feature film adaptation was announced in December 2024, with plans for global release in 2027,Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name and Brumm has confirmed this will mark his final credited writing contribution before retiring from the series.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name
