Bluey is an Australian animated TV show aimed at preschool-aged children, which 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 imaginative six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy. She shares her home with her father Bandit, mother Chilli, and younger sister Bingo, who often joins her in creative play adventures.[1] The cast features various dog breeds, some modeled after Brumm’s own childhood pets.[2] Core themes explore nurturing family relationships, Australian cultural elements, and the vital role of play during early childhood.[1][3] Produced in Queensland, the series draws inspiration from Brisbane for its setting.[4] It was jointly commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation, with global distribution and merchandising managed by BBC Studios.[1] In 2019, Disney secured international broadcast rights.[5]

Since its launch, Bluey has broadcast a total of 154 episodes across three seasons. The series includes special holiday-themed installments such as Christmas ("Verandah Santa" and "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), and Father’s Day ("Perfect"), along with a unique 28-minute episode titled "The Sign."[6] Beginning in 2024, short-form "Minisodes" lasting between one and three minutes were introduced.[7] Additionally, a feature-length film was announced in December 2024, slated for global release in 2027; creator Brumm will conclude his writing involvement 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 also won the Prix Jeunesse International Award in 2022 for TV – Up to 6 Years Fiction. Composer Joff Bush received nominations for the APRA Screen Music Awards for his work on "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[8][9] The episode "Cricket" received praise from sports media outlets.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name Several episodes have been adapted into picture books; notably, "The Beach" won both Book of the Year and Children's Picture Book of the Year (Ages 0–6) at the 2020 Australian Book Industry Awards.[10][11] Selected episodes have also been made available on DVD in Australia through BBC Studios.[12]
