Bluey is an Australian animated television program designed for preschool audiences, which first aired on ABC Kids on 1 October 2018. Developed by Joe Brumm in collaboration with Queensland-based Ludo Studio, the narrative centers on Bluey, a lively and imaginative six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy. She is characterized by her boundless curiosity and creativity.[1] Bluey shares her home with her father, Bandit; mother, Chilli; and younger sibling, Bingo, who frequently participate in her inventive play scenarios.[1] The show's characters depict a range of dog breeds, some of which are modeled after Brumm's own pets from childhood.[2] Core themes highlight nurturing family relationships, Australian cultural elements, and the significance of play during early childhood.[1][3][4] Produced in Queensland, the series draws inspiration from Brisbane for its setting.[5] It was jointly commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation, with BBC Studios managing global distribution and merchandising rights.[1] In 2019, international rights for broadcast were secured by The Walt Disney Company.[6]

Since its premiere on 1 October 2018, Bluey has broadcast a total of 154 episodes across three seasons. The series includes special holiday-themed episodes such as Christmas ("Verandah Santa" and "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), and Father's Day ("Perfect").[7][8][9][10] The third season featured an extended 28-minute episode titled "The Sign".[11] In addition, brief "Minisodes" lasting one to three minutes have been released throughout 2024.[12][13] A feature film was announced in December 2024 with plans for a global release in 2027; following this project, Brumm will step down from his role.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 received the 2022 Prix Jeunesse International Award for TV – Up to 6 Years Fiction.[14][15] Composer Joff Bush garnered nominations for APRA Screen Music Awards for his work on the episodes "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[16][17] The episode "Cricket" attracted 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' Book of the Year and Children's Picture Book of the Year (Ages 0–6) in 2020.[18][19] Additionally, episodes have been made available on DVD in Australia through BBC Studios.[20]
