Bluey is an Australian animated show 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 around Bluey, a lively six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy characterized by her vivid imagination, boundless energy, and inquisitive nature. Bluey shares her home with her father, Bandit; mother, Chilli; and younger sibling, Bingo, who frequently accompanies her on imaginative escapades.[1] The supporting cast comprises various dog breeds, some of which are inspired by Brumm's own childhood pets.[2] The series highlights nurturing family relationships, Australian cultural elements, and the significance of play during early childhood.[1][3][4] Produced in Queensland with Brisbane serving as the creative muse for its setting,[5] the show was jointly commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the BBC.[1] Global distribution and merchandising rights are managed by BBC Studios.[1] In 2019, international broadcast rights were secured by The Walt Disney Company.[6]

Since its launch, Bluey has released a total of 154 episodes spanning three seasons, including special themed episodes such as Christmas ("Verandah Santa" and "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), and Father's Day ("Perfect").[7][8][9][10] The third season introduced a unique 28-minute special titled "The Sign."[11] Furthermore, brief "Minisodes" lasting one to three minutes were broadcast throughout 2024.[12][13] A feature-length film was announced in December 2024 with plans for a worldwide release in 2027,Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name marking Brumm's final writing contribution before his departure.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name

In 2021, director Richard Jeffery earned an Australian Directors' Guild Award for the episode "Sleepytime," which also received the 2022 Prix Jeunesse International Award in the TV – Up to 6 Years Fiction (Children's) category.[14][15] Composer Joff Bush garnered nominations for the APRA Screen Music Awards with episodes "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[16][17] The episode "Cricket" attracted notable recognition 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 illustrated 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] Additionally, selected episodes have been made available on DVD in Australia through BBC Studios distribution.[20]
