Bluey is an Australian animated TV 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 renowned for her boundless imagination and inquisitiveness. She shares her home with her dad, Bandit; mom, Chilli; and younger sibling, Bingo, who frequently accompanies her on creative escapades.[1] The supporting cast features a variety of dog breeds, some modeled after Brumm's own pets from childhood.[2] The series explores themes such as nurturing family relationships, Australian cultural elements, and the vital role of play during early childhood.[1][3] Production is based in Queensland, with Brisbane serving as the inspiration for the show's setting.[4] The program was jointly commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation, with BBC Studios managing international distribution and merchandising rights.[1] In 2019, The Walt Disney Company secured rights for global broadcasting.[5]

Since its launch in 2018, Bluey has broadcast a total of 154 episodes spanning three seasons. The show includes special holiday episodes themed around Christmas ("Verandah Santa" and "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), and Father's Day ("Perfect"). Season three introduced a unique 28-minute episode titled "The Sign."[6] Additionally, in 2024, a collection of brief "Minisodes" ranging from one to three minutes was released.[7] A feature-length movie was announced in December 2024, planned for a global release in 2027, marking Joe Brumm’s final writing contribution 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 received the 2022 Prix Jeunesse International Award for TV – Up to 6 Years Fiction.[8][9] Composer Joff Bush garnered nominations for APRA Screen Music Awards for his work on "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[10][11] The episode "Cricket" attracted acclaim from sports journalists.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name

Certain episodes have been transformed into picture books, including "The Beach," which won both Book of the Year and Children's Picture Book of the Year (Ages 0–6) at the 2020 Australian Book Industry Awards.[12][13] Selected episodes are also available on DVD in Australia through distribution by BBC Studios.[14]
