Bluey is an Australian animated program 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 show centers on Bluey, a six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy characterized by her lively spirit, creativity, and inquisitiveness. She shares her home with her father Bandit, mother Chilli, and younger sibling Bingo, who frequently accompanies Bluey on imaginative escapades.[1] The characters represent various dog breeds, many inspired by Brumm's own childhood pets.[2] The series highlights themes of familial support, Australian heritage, and the significance of play.[1][3] Produced in Queensland with Brisbane as its backdrop,[4] Bluey was jointly commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the BBC.[1] Global distribution and merchandise rights are handled by BBC Studios, while Disney secured international broadcast rights in 2019.[5]

Since its launch, Bluey has broadcast a total of 154 episodes over three seasons, including special holiday-themed installments such as Christmas ("Verandah Santa," "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), and Father's Day ("Perfect").[6][7][8][9] The third season also included a unique 28-minute episode titled "The Sign."[10] In 2024, short-form "Minisodes" ranging from one to three minutes were introduced.[11] A feature film was announced in December 2024 with a planned worldwide release in 2027; creator Brumm will retire following this project.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name

Director Richard Jeffery earned the Australian Directors' Guild Award in 2021 for the episode "Sleepytime," which additionally won the 2022 Prix Jeunesse International Award for TV – Up to 6 Years Fiction.[12][13] Composer Joff Bush received APRA Screen Music Award nominations for the episodes "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[14][15] The episode "Cricket" has attracted international acclaim for its cultural significance.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 Multiple episodes have been adapted into picture books, including "The Beach," which secured the Australian Book Industry Awards for Book of the Year and Children's Picture Book of the Year (Ages 0–6) in 2020.[16][17] In Australia, episodes are also distributed on DVD through BBC Studios.[18]
